Lump On Lip, Fluid Filled, Blister Deep Under, Cold Sore, Bleeds Fresh Blood Every Time. Why?

I occasionally get a lump in my lip that then fills up with fluid like a blister deep under the skin. this then breaks down and has the look of a mouth ulcer, something I used to get quite a lot when younger. My lip doesn't tingle or scab over like a cold sore , if anything the skin in the wound stays soggy or if it does dry over at night when I sleep. as soon as i'm awake the surface comes off onto my other lip. it can just start to bleed fresh blood on healing. It can come when my lips are dry or if i injure my lip. what is this ?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Bump on the lips can occur due to viral or bacterial infections certainly one of them is herpes infection. Herpes is usually a acute viral condition in which itchy blisters are formed that spread rapidly and bursting with scratching to spread to the new areas. At times it is accompanied by fever and swollen lymph nodes.
Consult to the Dentist get a thorough checkup done to determine the diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this helps out.

Regards..
