What Causes Pus Filled Itchy Sores On The Chin?

I have four blister type sores that were tender when I shaved this morning with my razor. They are now filled with liquid and itch. They are just under my lip but not on my lip or do not touch my lip at all. It feels like a cold sore but it is not touching my mouth.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

It is infection of the skin underneath your lip. It is aggravated by shaving.

If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you Clindamycin antibiotic to be taken orally. Plus Mupirocin topical to apply on the lesions directly. ( you need prescription for these drugs. Please consult your physicain for the same).


Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.
