Hello,
You are having blisters on your thumb joint, which may be either insect bite or some burn injury or might be local allergic reaction , what is the size of blisters on your thumb joint, are they pustular yellowish in color or clear fluid blisters.If they are clear then these are allergic one or insect bite. So you clear these blisters by incising and dress up with antibiotic (Betadine) cream and and also take systemic treatment along with local treatment by antibiotic and anti allergic medicines.Hope you will be relieved by my suggestion to you, take care and good luck.
