Dear- thanks for using our service. I read the question with care and will give you my medical advise. The blisters in the cuticle could be secondary to an allergic reaction from something in the garden or just an infection . You should work with glove to avoid this situation. In the meantime, use a triple antibiotic cream alternating with a cortisone cream for one week to see if will help to heal it faster.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
