Hi there...
Your issue has been clearly described.
However few clear digital pics 📥 and a more detailed history will help us lock down a pucca diagnosis along with one simple lab test.
Experts who Google AI & Ayush based practitioners masquerading as Dermatologist' will have you believe it is a simple herpes labialis. Be a little wary of those offering a diagnosis sans all the facts being presented. You can get that from an AI consult from Gemini as well.

Does this occurs only over lips?
Much more detailed medical history needs to be assessed before starting you on your personalised treatment
Kindly share a clear picture in good lighting of affected areas
• This history is most consistent with recurrent herpes labialis (cold sores) rather than simple dryness
• Triggers like sudden temperature change, fever, cough/cold, and stress commonly reactivate the virus
• Typical course of 5–7 days with blister → crust → healing further supports this diagnosis
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution
• Avoid touching/picking lesions → can spread infection
• Avoid sharing towels, utensils, or close contact during active lesions
• Identify and minimize triggers (sudden temp changes, dehydration, illness)
• Maintain good immunity (sleep, nutrition, hydration)
Kindly consult with me via practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
Blistering indicates a severe localised response of your body. It may be caused by multiple causes ranging from environmental to infectious to auto-immune. Not all blisters will have a straightforward cause, even though they may all look similar.
