Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The possible causes for blisters on ear may be due to
1. Sun burn.
2. Skin infection.
3. Seborrheic eczema.
4. Relapsing polychondritis.
5. Herpes zoster infection etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Avoid moisturizing cream/lotion. Avoid application of irritants on the skin.
Use anti histamines. Consult your dermatologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
