Hi,

Blisters on finger sides and tips could be due to many conditions like friction, freezing, burning, any chemical burns or manifestation of underlying minor infections like dyshidrosis, bullous pemphigoid etc. Even stress can aggravate blisters. Most of the blisters will heal on its own, as the growth of new skin under the blister makes the fluid disappear slowly and the skin will get dry and peel off.

You can use moisturizers with petroleum jelly in the form of lotion, cream, or ointment. Cover the blister with sterile gauze dressing

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
