What Causes Red Itchy Blisters Around The Mouth And Chin?
It started with a cold sore. Then a few days later I had little blister like spots developing on my chin and around the bottom of my mouth. The blister open, they aren t full of puss but there is a liquid. it is itchy. My doctor gave me an antibiotic and an antibiotic cream. It seem to get worse then within 2 days started drying out but now it has begun to spread again. It stings, is red and is blistery. Any thoughts?

Hello,
It could be a canker sore. Other possibilities like herpes labialize can also cause a similar lesion.
As a first-line management, you can apply over the counter available topical steroids like triamcinolone for symptomatic relief.
If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
