Dark, red blister like patch/spot on my bottom lip. never had cold sore before so what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncertain: Cold sores are painful liquid filled blisters that can occur on the lips, roof of the mouth or the gums which are usually caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). Tingling &/or pain can herald the oncoming of cold sore 1 to 2 days prior to eruption.
