How long will it take for the blisters on my labia to heal? Is there any cream I can use for the daytime also? It is painful and hurts to wear any type of clothing.

Hello,
It will take around a week for the blisters to heal.
Use calasoft lotion in day time. It is a combination of calamine and paraffin.
It will provide you good relief.

Thank you
