Topical steroid and antibiotic cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a topical antibiotic and steroid combination like cortisone cream and neosporin ointment on the blister twice daily for 7-10 days.
This should subside it.
