worried about a blister

i have two blisters which have not gone away in weeks. what should i do?
I always just pop them. I know some people recommend against doing that because apparently it can get infected, but I've been popping my blisters all my life and nothing ever happened.

I use a sewing needle and hold it under a flame for a couple of seconds, to disinfect it. Then I wait until it's cold again, and I just pop the blister. I soak up the liquid with a tissue and that's that.

I usually don't wear socks after and don't put a band aid on, so that the blister can dry out and breathe

I'd still pop it. And then put some tea tree oil on top of it, to disinfect the wound. Make sure you get all the liquid/pus out
