But the same again appeared on upper and lower lips (inside).. what should I take..

thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the burning sensation and blisters ulcers and limited mouth opening could be because of oral submucous fibrosis....you should stop the habit of gutkha chewing....consult a oral physician..it requires intralesional injection of steroids and hyaluronidase fore 8weeks given biweekly. consume lot of turmeric containing food..i hope my answer will help you...
