Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Since the exposed skin is raw due to rupture of blister, therefore the main concern is to prevent secondary bacterial infection till the skin regenerates.
I would suggest you an oral antibiotic e.g penicillin or cephalosporin group of antibiotics for a week along with topical antibacterials like either siverex ointment or 2% mupirocin ointment twice daily.
