blister which are painful, are most likely due to herpetic lesion. herpes virus is the cause. which spreads in area supplied by facial nerve. tab valcyclovir is recommended treatment. other are pain killers according to your symptoms. get yourself checked up for immunosuppression, as this virus gets activated in immunosuppressive condition.
