Need more info.: Hi, I would need a location, duration, associated symptoms, history of potential or true contact, etc. In general clustered blister like rash around the mouth, is suggestive of herpes simplex type 1. Bullous impetigo-bacterial skin infection can mimic this too.

I agree, if this rash stays, it should be evaluated at least start with your pediatrician, to save cost and then get referred if needed to a specialist. Hope that helps.
