Brief Answer:
Apply steroid antibiotic combination cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
The blood blister can be due to frictional dermatitis .
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply steroid antibiotic combination cream like cortisone and neosporin ointment on the blister twice daily for 5-7 days.
This should resolve the blister.
Besides this you can continue using the jock itch spray and wear well fitted cotton shorts.
