Sore finger sucking 6 month old

My 6 month old has sucked her fingers so much this morning that she has actually blistered them- she's just sucking for comfort as not hungry etc. I've tried to give her a dummy instead but she's not keen. What should I do?! I don't want to interfere in her oral phase but I'm worried the skin will break or get infected.
