Hello, according to the situation you described: Hand, foot, and mouth disease should be around two weeks from the onset of symptoms to the complete healing of blisters. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection, and this disease has a high risk of transmission. It is important to take precautions to isolate and prevent infection.
