You can use Hydrocortisone 1% cream topically on the blisters.
One tablet of Cetirizine (Zyrtec) can be used before going to bed for two days.

If an open blister showed signs of infection (increased swelling, pain, pus discharge) you can use topical antibiotic such as fusidic acid (Fucidin cream).
