Blisters on the lips

No in all seriousness… It sounds like a cold sore like Sha_sha said. You can buy chapstick with a topical anitbody in it to prevent these out breaks. Another suggestion, put the cig a out before reaching the filter.

Also to add…Cold Sores are a virus,the virus never leaves your body so when something happens like weather, or smoking, getting sick etc. you have a breakout. I get them, i use this topical ointment called lyzine it makes them go away in about 1-2 days..

Cold sores does not equal herpes..

cold sores = herpes. Stop sharing your butts with everyone

I believe this is a result from the penicillin i am now taking for an infected wisdom tooth

kiissmeimcontagious, I suggest you investigate a little futher. Cold sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex I virus.

hey use some abreva cold sore medicine, it worked in a day for me….

Best advice I can think of…

Sounds like you are 80% of the world and have oral herpes…

If you want to reduce outbreaks, try to avoid stress. STRESS/sunburn/sudden change in weather(extreme cold) are 3 things that cause outbreaks the most.

Go to your local drug store and get a small package of 1% hydrocortisone cream… it’s typically used for treating skin disorders like eczema. When you feel a “blister” about to “pop,” or right as it has become noticeable… apply the hydrocortisone cream (it’s a clear shiny substance so it’s not very visible). This speeds up your skin’s immune system resulting in a quicker dispersal of the blister.

I have a question. I’ve never had a cold sore in my entire life (I’m 24) and once I found out my husband was deploying the stress started piling on. I started developing a bump on my lip. Not at the edge of my lip but directly on my lip. I noticed it in the evening and kept watching it. The next morning it was a full blown blister. Not red or gross or anything, but like a blister you get when you burn your finger on a curling iron or something. Just barely touching it caused it to break and the clear liquid was drained. I just noticed tonight that I’m getting another one. The last time this happened was in October. Help??

I TEND TO HAVE BLISTER IN MY LOWER LIP EVERY 3-4 DAYS WITHOUT STOP

I get cold sores and when I take anti-biotics I tend to have an outbreak more. It also happens anytime the immune system is weakened by stress, illnesses, weather, fatigue, etc. You might notice a tingling a day or two before the blisters pop up. That is called the prodomal period and if it is cold sores, you are contagious before they pop up. There is a medicine that is a cream that will help keep them from becoming full blown blisters. I can’t remember the name but I think it is something like zovarix or something like that. The over the counter cream doesn’t help as much as the prescription cream does. You’ll have to ask your doc. If they won’t prescribe it, then I guess you can try to OTC cream called abreva. It works okay.

Sounds like cold sores to me. You can buy medicated chapstick like blistex that works better if you put it on as soon as you feel the tingling that comes before the swelling. Obviously keeping healthy helps keep them away since when your immune system is down they tend to re-appear. Avoid exposing your lips to sun, wind and extreme temperatures as well as avoid sharing cigarettes or kisses with people that have a cold sores. If it makes you feel any better, I used to get cold sores a lot but some how they just dissapeared and haven’t had any for years now!!! good luck
