Hydrocortisone was not necessary for this type of problem. In fact, it can actually delay healing so only use hydrocortisone where there is an inflammatory reaction to something such as chemical, toiletries etc, or for mild eczema.
Also being pregnant, you sould not use any products with an active ingredient unless your doctor has cleared it first. Using hydrocortisone once on a small area will have done no harm to the baby but these products should only be used in pregnancy with a doctors permission.
From your description, unless the wound area is significantly red and hot, then it is probably not infected at the moment. This is not something I would take to the doctor unless its starts weeping coloured fluid. The clear fluid after a blister is quite harmless and is a result of trauma to the heel from your shoes. If the red colour doesn't start to go down over the next day or so, then see your doctor but the skin should start to heal. Don't use any more peroxide on it as this will disturb the growing tissue.
A hydrocolloid dressing would be a good idea as this will form a second skin and improve speed of healing.
