How much longer til my genital outbreak ends?

I was diagnosed with genital herpes about a week ago and have had my first outbreak. The outbreak was horrible I was swollen and had huge blisters that popped and seeped and hurt and it hurt to urinate. I am now basically back to normal size and all I have left are a couple of areas where I have a lot of tiny blisters. These areas are still painful especially when I where jeans or my work pants (I work as an automotive technician.) I've already missed 2 days of work I can't miss anymore. Can anyone tell me how long it might take for these tiny blisters to go away? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Anything I can do to help my pants rubbing these spots to not hurt as much? Please someone help.
