Hi,

Thanks for the query.

It would be easier to answer the query if you could let me know the following details.
1.     Since how many days are you having this problem?
2.     Are these lesions painful?
3.     Is there any itching or burning sensation?
4.     Do you have fever or sore throat?
5.     Do they crust after the liquid oozes out?
6.     Do you have similar blisters anywhere else on your body?
7.     Please include an image of the lesion here.

The blisters seen around mouth or nose region usually are caused by virus. Hence it is better to take some steps to prevent further worsening of the condition.

- Avoid squeezing the blisters.
- Keep the affected area clean.
- Wash the face with antimicrobial soap and dab with a clean and dry towel.
- You can take Vitamin C supplements which will boost your immunity.

Let me know with more details, so that I can get back to you at the earliest.

Hi,

Thanks for the follow up.

I am glad to know that you have consulted your doctor and that it is only a viral infection. They usually subside by its self and do not need any treatment. Your doctor might have started you on penicillin to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Hope I have relieved you of your concerns.

I will be available to answer further queries. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you.
