Suggest Treatment For Bug Bite Like Bump On Lower Lip

I was just laying down on the bed and I felt a tingle on my lip and suddenly there was a bump that appeared on my lower lip. I thought I was a bug bite but when I took a closer look it looked like a blister. There were no symptoms prior to this occurrence. Is it possible for cold sores to appear suddenly that quickly? My past experiences with cold sores was only inside my mouth and it was always a gradual occurrence. I would feel tenderness and irritation before the cold sore came into effect. This time it was sudden, quick, no prior symptoms, and on the outside of my lip.

Hi..
Can understand your concern.

As per your complain sudden irritation and tingling on the lip followed by sudden occurrence of the lump can be due to an allergic reaction and ithe can be due to any food item if you have taken something a few minutes before or due to any medicine or if nothing is appropriate it can be a bug bite leaving it's sting inside the lip which caused allergic reaction and lump..

It can appear as a blister when it is filled with inflammatory exudate..

I would suggest you to take anti allergic medicine like benadryl or allegra for fast subsiding of symptoms...

You can also apply steroid based ointments for relieving of inflammation..

In case of pain anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil or Ibuprofen can be taken..

Cold compresses can be relieving..

In case if it gets infected and there is pus filled abscess antibiotic therapy oral and topical is needed..

Hope this information helps..
