I had blisters from the tape that's delaying healing of areola incisions. How often should I change dressings? (photos)

I asked my surgeon waiting on a response. What recommendations would work to help healing. Maybe silvadene cream or santly to help the wound heal. I have been keeping the incision clean and changing the dressing. How often should I change the dressing daily or every other day. I am using steri-strips. I am 2 weeks postop procedure was on the 10/27
