Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I would keep a possibility of dyshidrotic aczema/pompholyx, which presents as itchy fluid filled blisters/vesicles along the sides of the fingers and toes.
The reaction can develop as an allergy to nickel either present in ornaments or ingested in food.

Topical therapy includes application of a potent topical steroid + antibiotic cream twice daily for 2 weeks.

I would suggest that you consult a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis. Your treating dermatologist might also choose to give you a short course of oral steroids for a week.

An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine would help in providing symptomatic relief from itching.
