The effect is very good, with few side effects and is cheap. Apply 3-5 times a day, and the condition will generally improve in about 3 days.

3. Apply aloe vera gel

It also has a cooling feeling when applied. It can not only prevent the blisters on the lips from getting infected, but also relieve the itching and tingling sensation. Especially when the blisters on the lips break and form scars, applying aloe vera gel on the lips can also prevent scar formation.

4. Apply vitamin E

When the climate is dry, some people will develop blisters on their lips and also experience dry and peeling lips.

However, if the blisters on the lips develop serious secondary infections such as ulceration and pus discharge, it is necessary to apply local medications and take oral antibiotics and antiviral drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Can blisters on lips be popped?

It is not advisable to burst blisters on the lips, because in the process of popping the blisters by yourself, if the tools and the area around the lips and hands are not disinfected properly, it is very easy to cause infection.

In addition, if it is a herpes virus infection, if the fluid containing the virus flows to other parts around the lips after puncture, it may also cause herpes in other parts of the body.
