Blistered lips: How long have you had this condition. One possibility is a herpetic viral infection (cold virus). This usually is self-limiting and runs it's course in 7-10 days. If you have had this for longer than 10 days, you should check with your physician to make sure this is not part of a systemic infection or disease.
