That's a common place for pressure for many good bowlers. I think some coaches even suggest strongly that the ball should rest in that area.
So I don't think there's anything wrong; it's just a place of pressure, where calluses build up easily. Where there are calluses, a blister will eventually show up. Put a pad or a band aid there, or maybe just a piece of tape.

To heal the blister, use aloe and/or vitamin E or a hand cream that has both in it and maybe a bit of neosporin covered with a band aid..

nothing wrong with it. some people get it more often than others. It just means you're placing pressure with that spot on your hand.

The dead skin, the callus, protected the fresh skin underneath. Now, ouch!
If the blister broke, try neosporin. If it hasn't broken yet, protect it with a pad like that in a bandaid, but thicker.
