Brief Answer:
Try orajel...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are numbing agents containing benzocaine / lignocaine. Orajel is one such product.

You can try it on the affected area. It will numb the area and ease the discomfort to some extent. If the blisters persists for more than a week, you should visit a doctor for evaluation.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
