I have 5 small blisters between my ring and my knuckle. my finger is swollen in that area and i am unable to remove my ring. can you tell me why?

Soap under ring: I can think of to possible causes. You may be allergic to the metal that your ring is made of. If you have no problems with any other metals, then you may get soap caught under your ring when you wash your hands. The soap causes an irritant dermatitis and maybe because of the rash. You need to see a dermatologist as soon as possible.
