Probably a Cold Sore: Cold sores , sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/tc/cold-sores-topic-overview#1

Sounds like: a HERPES (Cold Sore) infection...You need an anti-viral Preparation for the sore itself and possible oral anti-viral medication This can be treated but an accurate Diagnosis is necessary Hope this is helpful Dr Z
