Difficult issue: If it arises at the junction of your lip and the skin nearby it is likely hs1.Hs1 can also arise in other locations on your face but will usually be the same site or close every time. Hs1 blisters can become inflamed by skin contaminants if their healing is prolonged, and might be labeled impetigo at that point.Skin infections can arise at several differing sites at different times.
