Welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for sharing your concerns with us.
From the medicine prescribed, I believe the doctors in Vancouver have suspected a Herpes simplex outbreak on the lips and hence prescribed the Anti viral tablet like Valacyclovir. This should be the first diagnosis also as you have suffered the outbreak after an attack of bronchitis.
Frequently after herpes infection in the lips and adjoining areas, there is a superimposed bacterial infection, which prolongs the recovery as well.
You might be suffering from this.
I would be able to guide you better if you can upload a clear picture of the lesions here. Please upload the pictures of both lips and the arm rash. You may send them to

Did you have bronchitis at Hawaii and were treated with steroids for the same?
Did the lip rash improve and recur again?
How long exactly is the arm rash?
I will be happy to answer your follow-up queries.
Wishing you good health,
DR.TANUSHREE BISWAS
