Answer 1

You need to let them heal. Clean the blisters under water, dry them off and cover the wounds. Change the dressing every day. Don't play until its healed or you'll make it worse.

Once its healed, maybe look at your guitar technique and stop playing so hard. You don't get a badge for it.

Answer 2

You need to wait for it to heal, in the meantime keep the blister dry and clean....You should put a bandaid and first aid cream on it for a few days.
