A member asked:

Could emotional stress cause a sudden painful lip blister?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Indirectly: Stress alone won't cause this, but stress is a common precursor to a cold sore flaring up. The direct cause is the virus causing the cold sore, though. Several chronic viruses show this tendency.
