A member asked:

Sore inner lower lip, very small blisters at first thought it was dry skin but has been persistant for a few days..any ideas?

Type I Herpes?: Herpes labialis, generally associated with type i herpes can cause multiple small blisters. It is a common problem and not serious. Canker sores are another possibility. Also not serious. Both conditions should improve in a few days. If not, get it checked out.
