Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain pus filled blisters on hand can be due to hair follicle infection or folliculitis that is commonly caused by Staphylococcus bacteria infection..

Removing the scabs alone will not relieve the symptoms and you need to consult an Infectious diseases specialist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like blood test can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised a course of Oral antibiotics along with anti inflammatory painkillers and topical application of antibiotic ointment along with maintaining proper cleanliness to relieve the symptoms..
Injectable antibiotics can also be advised..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
