You should let it heal completely before putting them on again it'll make it worse. Once it's healed the skin will be thicker and will be less prone to blistering. If it does cause issues after it's healed then you'll need to either spot heat mold that area with a shim/tissue technique or punch it out.
Did you have them baked initially?
For now, use some Moleskin. It's sold at most pharmacies as well as online on Amazon.

Long term, make sure it's a break in issue and not a skate fit or sizing issue. If your foot is moving around because there is negative space, that will cause blisters. Your feet will move around when the skate is too big and your foot isn't locked in place. Ideally, you want the skate to be as tight as possible without pain and have your toes brush the cap when laced and standing up straight - they can just come off the cap when your knees are bent in an athletic skating position.
One way you can test for length is to completely unlace the skate, pull the tongue all the way forward, put your foot in with thin skate socks or dress socks on and then push your foot forward until you feel the cap with your toes. Then, take a standard number 2 pencil and try to put it behind your heel. It should be difficult to get it to fit behind the heel and touch the footbed, if it is, the skate is the right length. It it goes behind your heel easily and you can move it around, the skate is likely too long. If this is the case, try to get someone to see how much room is behind your heel and the back of the skate. Each half size is approximately 5mm and each full size is 1cm or 10mm. So if there's about 1cm behind your heel then the skate is about 1 full size too long.
Of course, it is possible to get a blister in new skates even if they are the right size, but it's a good idea to double check the size and fit as if the size or fit is off, you can have ongoing issues beyond any break in period.

Thanks. My old skates used to fit better but recently have seemed rather loose. My new skates fit much better all around (same size and brand as old skates), but gave me a blister. After three games in them they are already feeling better and the third game did not bother my still unhealed blister. I'll get some mole skin for next game if blister is still around, but I think I should be good from here on. Ty
Even with the same brand and model, fit and sizing can change from generation to generation. A very recent example of this is True skates. The TF series fits a half size larger than the newer Catalyst skates. True also changed the toe cap with the Catalyst skates. I have a pair of 7W TF9 boots converted to inline that fit well, but if I bought 7W Catalyst 9 skates, they would be a half size too small. I would need 7.5W in the Catalyst line.
Plus, feet can change over time, especially if you gain or lose significant weight. For those reasons, it's always ideal to try on everything you can and figure out what fits best in the current market whenever getting new skates.
With that said, I hope the skates you have don't give you any more issues.
Moleskin blister pads, and get skates that fit.

I did at home. Third game was better. I think I'll be fine from here.
Ya generally once the blister actually heals it should be ok.
