Based upon the images you uploaded, it appears to be a vascular lesion e.g ectasia, hemangioma. However initial empiric treatment should invlove topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin over the blister, oral antihistamine like loratidine and paracetamol for any pain or inflammation associated with the blister. B complex vitamins, Folic acid supplementation should also be advised in consultation with your doctor. Plenty of fluids should be taken and direct sunlight exposure should also be minimized. An excision biopsy should be done to determine the nature of the lesion if it persists despite the above treatment.
