Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.Considering the picture you sent ,it seems to be a skin condition called contact dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis.These are chronic skin condition and require treatment.
Cleaning it with alcohol has made the inflammation worse,causing the blisters to burst and to form scabs.
I would suggest to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.A topical corticosteroids like Hydrocortizone will help to ease the inflammation.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question.
