Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

The blisters in skin are formed as a response of the body to the heat caused by capsaicin in the hot pepper sauce.
Applying heat or warm compresses will make the things worse.

Compresses with cold water can provide some relief.Also vegetable oil and aloe vera can help.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you need further help.

Kind regards,
