Suggest Medication For Scab Over The Lip
Hi, I have a scab or blister thing above my lip and ive had it for nearly 4 months. Ive tried putting vaseline on it constantly, and it wont go away. Sometimes it goes away, then the next day it comes back, it is red and really dry and crackly. I just dont know what to do or how to get rid of it. The scabs/ blisters are starting to appear on the other side of my lip. HELP!

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a herpes simplex virus.
I suggest using Acyclovir cream for local application.
I recommend to use a moisturizer and drink liquids.
Hope my answer was helpful.
