What Causes Blister On Top Of Lip And Lip Swelling?
Question: Hi, i got a severe sunburn that lead to something like a blister on top of my lip with redness and lip swelling. What caused it? How can i treat it?
Apply vaseline jelly or lip balm locally. Keep your lips moist and supple. You can use a lip gloss or balm with sun protection factor 30 to remove the sun burn.

This is my case, it is not actually on my lips but on top of it,what shall i do please
Brief Answer:
Allergic skin reaction , take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
I have seen the attached picture . You seem to have developed a superficial skin blister . Sudden development of such a skin blister can occur either due to a severe sun burn or it can be due to some insect bite reaction.
In either case, you need to apply a topical steroid cream over the affected area to cure the allergic component and prevent any superinfection .
You can buy cortisone cream and apply it twice a day over the affected area.
In addition, use a sunscreen regularly before going out in the sun.
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
Hope it helps

Thank you for you reply, is using Systal Gel 20 g (Chlorphenoxamine hydrochloride) helps, what about ice or cold pads?
Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction skin, medicine application
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Application of something cold like ice pack will surely help in bringing down the skin allergy but you would surely need to apply a topical steroid agent.
Systal gel might not help in your problem.
