Hello and welcome to HCM,
Bright red colored blisters on hands and feet suggest that the blisters are blood filled.
Blood filled blisters associated with pain could be an allergic reaction or a primary skin condition.
There are number of primary skin diseases which present with blistering due to splitting of layers of skin and collection of fluid in between the layers.
These skin diseases are called bullous or vesico-bullous lesions.
Some of them are quite itchy.
I am afraid there is no home remedy for these lesions.
You need to consult a dermatologist or skin specialist for clinical assessment and diagnosis.
The clinical diagnosis will have to confirmed by a skin biopsy.
Thus, I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for further work up.

Thanks and take care
