Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
To help your skin heal fast, use an antibiotic cream like mupirocin or fusidic acid twice daily. If the base has turned yellow and oozing or pus discharge is there, in that case take oral antibiotic too.
If the wound is clean, topical antibiotic cream would be enough.
Hope this helped.
Take care

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.
Normally epithelium re-epithelializes in about 5-7 days.
As a treating doctor i would have advised you to use a topical antibacterial ointment twice daily to prevent the erosions)resulting from de-roofing of the blisters) from getting infected, which if occurs would in fact delay re-epithelialization.
take care
regards
