A member asked:

I have a recurring blister in the same spot on my lower lip. cold sore treatments arent working. what could it be?

Need exam to answer: You will need to be seen when the "blister" is present to get an accurate DX. Could be recurrent Herpes--in which case antiviral meds would be Rxed
