Hi
You seem to be developing an allergic skin reaction.
Now such an allergic skin reaction with blisters and lesions especially over the hands can occur I due to various causes. It can occur in infections especially viral and also in allergic drug reactions.
If you also have any associated fever or if you currently on any drugs especially things like antibiotics or pain killers, then the skin rash is surely a cause of concern and you should see a local dermatologist for its further management.
For the time being, you can keep the affected areas clean and dry and continue to apply a topical antibiotic cream over it.
Hope it helps
