Lip Blisters and BleedingGo ![]() | New ![]() | Find ![]() | Notify ![]() | Tools ![]() | Reply ![]() | |
I have been fighting what I think is Herpes I blisters on my bottom lip for about 1.5 weeks. I was able to obtain Famvir and Zovirax prescriptions to help. The blisters seem to migrate and have on occasion bleed overnight as I wake up with little mounds of blood. Can this be a rection to the Zovirax or do I have something more sinister going on? | |||

Hello SAL Mouth cancer ulcers do not migrate, so it is probably a viral infection. The most common cause for blood blisters is oral herpes, a viral infection that flares up periodically and has no known cure. You can usually recognise it as oral herpes signals its arrival with tingling or discomfort (a prodome) where a blister is about to appear. Soon afterward, blisters erupt on the tongue, the gums, or the cheeks. Herpes sores can start out as small blisters that soon run together to form one painful, large sore. Flare-ups can be triggered by stress, food allergies, dental treatment, mouth injury, or sunburn on the lips. Taking vitamin C during the prodome may help clear up ensuing sores faster. And taking herpes medication like Zovirax (acyclovir) or Famivir (Famciclovir) will inhibit the reproduction of the virus that causes the blood blisters in the first place. You can also try Penciclovir. The herpes lesions should resolve within the next 10 days. Let us know how you get on.
