Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history.
The causes of the blisters after walking so much in the hills can be :
Allergic reaction to something in the hills.
Insect bites.
Friction by the jeans.

It is good that you applied Neosporin antibiotic cream.
If there is redness around the blister and itching , please take antihistamine tablets like Cetirizine. Wait and watch. If the problem increases, consult a Doctor to get the additional oral steroids, anti-inflammatory medicines and antibiotic if required.
If the haling is positive, this will heal up fast. and you do not have to worry about.
I find this answer helpful
