The only thing that will do this in the time frame you mention, for certain, is Predisone. It requires a prescription.
Over the counter medicines may work, but there is no guarantee it will be in time.

I think if you keep treating it with your current medications you should be pretty well over it by the 22nd. Be sure to avoid scratching. Benadryl cream or pills may help with itching. My dad used to use Lysol dabbed on the top surface of the blisters to dry them up. I don't believe that is a commonly recommended cure, but it did dry it up quickly. Just be careful not to apply it to healthy skin tissues.

Try liquid Vitamin E to the dry areas, it will give moisture to the dry skin while fortifying the healthy tissue around it.
