It will help the itch, but it usually takes about 9 days to completely heal. No matter what you use (from experience).

Zinc will probably be of little benefit. Once the blisters have formed, you can use Caladryl or Benadryl to help dry them out and relieve the itching, though Kenalog Spray seems to help them resolve faster.

The use of anti-fungal spray helps dry it up and stop the itching. Tinactin is a good product. If you use the spray you are not rubbing it causing more pain and irritation.
