Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

Recurrent blisters on lips are usually due to a viral infection known as Herpes labialis.
For this, acyclovir is the drug of choice to be started within 24-48 hours of appearance of blisters.

If you consult your doctor, he/she will himself/herself prescribe you this medication.you may discuss it with your doctor.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
Stay Healthy.
