Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed herpes labialis.
This is viral infection.
It usually follows any stressful event like infection or use of antibiotics.
You need treatment with topical anti viral like acyclovir.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
