A member asked:
I was sunburned and now have a blister on my lip. is this the same as a cold soar? what is an effective treatment? maybe polysporn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunburned lips: Lip blister is not the same as a cold sore. A cold sore is caused by a herpes virus. The best treatment is no treatment at all. Polysporin may be sensitizing to the skin on the blister.
