Peeling Skin On Finger, Red Spots, Blisters, Sensitive Skin. Should I Cover It?

Im a 20 year old female. Two weeks ago the skin on my left ring finger began peeling and just kept peeling and peeling. A few days later i noticed one side of the finger has a pea sized, red, tough spot and the other side has a cluster of very tiny bumps. Possibly blisters- theyre too small to tell. while a ring of yet-unpeeled but loose skin encircles a good 50% of my finger, Another layer is beginning to peel from the fresh skin. No pain or itching, just a bit of extra sensitivity. What could it be? I m afraid it could be contageous. Should I cover it?
