Patience: You have done the basics. Now you sit back and monitor the site at least 2X/d while looking for signs of increasing redness or drainage that would suggest a new germ invasion. Most of these take about two weeks to dry/heal primarily and 6 weeks to look pretty normal. I leave the bubbles alone and they shrink/ dry to the skin and later flake off.
