Treatment for Fever Blister

Most often when the weather changes, blisters develop on bottom lip. Sometimes it can be the cold sores also. You can use medicated chapstick like blistex for it. You can apply it on the bottom of your lip as soon as you think that the blister is coming there. If your resistant system is down, it is possible that the blister will reappear. To keep yourself away from this disease, you can avoid exposing your lips to wind, sun and severe temperatures; as well as you will have to avoid sharing kisses or cigarettes with the people that have the same problem. The fewer blister is a virus and it never leaves one's body, so when you feel getting sick, you will have to stop smoking. You can also use the topical ointment for that, as it makes them go away in about 2-3 days. Sometimes it may happen due to extra tension or weakness. You may observe a tingling a day before the blisters appear on your bottom lip. Some people also face this problem due to the overdose of anti-biotic.

Remedies for Lips blisters 

If your blister came about while you had a fever and is still there after the fever is gone, you would need to consult a doctor to figure out exactly what it is. Any blister that stays after an illness could be a residual effect of the illness. This could also mean that your fever may have something to do with the blister, and may not have been an ordinary fever to begin with. The purplish dot you describe in the middle of the blister makes it sound like you have been bitten by something.

For most part, purple discolorations of any kind on the skin indicate that you have been bitten by a poisonous insect or spider. However, if this were true, the impact of the toxin would have been felt instantly, and you would have had an adverse reaction to it as well. In any case, if it is a bite of some sort, you can try to rub a piece of iron on it. In most cases of such blisters caused by insect bites, this remedy will help to remove the discoloration quite quickly. Do remember that it could be an insect bite of some sort which has left behind a blood clot as well.

Lips blisters causes 

The blister could be caused due to a variety of reasons ranging from a rash (allergy) to sun poisoning and even a bacterial infection. It's hard to tell without proper examination.

The best way to remedy it temporarily, is to keep the area clean at all times, if you smoke avoid touching that area to the cigarette filter to the blister, and avoid consuming very spicy foods. There are some remedies like petroleum jelly, alcohol and disinfectant. The alcohol helps dry out the inflammation and should provide temporary relief. Do not use all the three suggestions at once, it will have disastrous effects.

There are a variety of over the counter prescriptions creams that you can try, these creams are generally effective and are taken with a combination of antibiotics. The best help to seek, other than keeping the affected area clean is to visit a dermatologist, in order to pinpoint the specific reason for the blister. It is important that that you do it, because if allowed to spread it can have irritating and hard to get rid off consequences. A dermatologist is the best source and will help further your knowledge of why the blister occurred in the first place.
