Question 1

i accidentally popped my blood blister on my lower lip, what should i do next to prevent infection?  is it really serious if it is popped?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: Bloodblisters are common on the inside of the lip and cheek.  Your body is well equipped to handle these.  You have probably done no harm and wait a day or two and all should normalize.

Question 2

have had painful sore on tip of tongue for 10 days, now feel tingling on upper lip. if this is hsv1 is it too late for valtrex (valacyclovir) to prevent new blister?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unfortunately, Valtrex (valacyclovir) and other antiviral a are best used as early as possible during a herpetic  outbreak. This time frame is usually considered to be within 48 hours of first symptoms. There is some consolation in knowing that this information will help you if another outbreak ever arises. If you are normally healthy and without any compromised immunity, you will recover without complication.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Likely so.: Exposure to sun is a known factor in herpes reactivation.

Question 4

how to get rid of cold sores and sun blisters on your lips?

Accepted Answer

Laser can Help: Find a dentist trained with the biolase waterlase, which can dry up the lesions, reduce pain, and speed healing.

Question 5

i have white painful / tingling bumps on my lower lip one on the right and one of the left . are they sun blisters?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: Many things can cause bumps on the skin and lip.  It is easier to tell what it is by looking at it and knowing the characteristic.  Stress and viruses can cause aphthous ulcers that are white and burn/tingle.  Cold sores can burst and hurt/tingle and appear white at the bottom of the bottom/ulcer.  Infection with pus can appear white and hurt as well.  See a doctor.

Question 6

i am experiencing  lip blister and sunburn. how do i treat my lip blisters and are they caused by the sun poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Can't  say for: certain. However , gentle approach for lip blisters is to apply honey every so often. It  has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Question 7

i have a lawncare business and spend many many hours outside in the sun. however i am starting accutane. do i need to stop my work? consider heavier sunscreens? how to prevent excessive sunburn?

Accepted Answer

: Much too complex, and too many variables from one person to another, for a safe or accurate reply on a forum like this. You probably are in the care of a dermatologist; if not, find one and follow that doctor's advice. Good luck.

Question 8

how do i prevent my new sunburn from blistering?

Accepted Answer

The die is cast.: If you have sunburned your skin severely enough to cause blistering, it will blister; the damage has been done. People will tell you that their favorite folk remedy prevented it, but in fact their burn was not severe enough to blister in the first place. All you can do is ride it out. Then buy a good sunscreen (spf 50), and don't try to get a tan all in one day.

Question 9

i burned my lip (not by sunburn) and there's a blister. what can i do to treat this?

Accepted Answer

Be patient: Your body will heal - lips often remarkably quickly. No need to 'treat' -- but can do a few things to make it feel better while it heals. After the first few minutes -- many people like using cool or cold to relieve pain - popsickles or an ice cube in a wet washcloth can be soothing.  Pain relievers can be used if really painful.

Question 10

how can you prevent and cure a sunburn around lips?

Accepted Answer

Moisture: Preventing a sunburn is a lot easier than curing one.  Sunscreen or shade can prevent them.  To cure or reduce it, add lots of moisture and clean gently with mild cleansers.  Vaseline or aquaphor can be soothing to these areas.  If it blisters, you may want to see your doctor.
