Hi, i would advise u to meet the nearest dermatologist to start treatment. Specific antiviral medicines are given in this regard and you have to avoid close contact with others, especially children/ infants / toddlers as they can also catch the infection. Do not pick, touch, nor squeeze the blisters. After some time most of the blisters will leave behind crusts which will fall off in due time. U can follow up on the private chat. Regards, Dr. Zubin Mandlewala MUMBAI
