The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is herpes labialis which is a viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus.It gets reactivated in periods of stress and physical activity. It can be treated with oral antiviral called Acyclovir. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
