Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from herpes labialis.
Your description of water filled tiny lesions exactly matches it.
It is a viral infection.
Usually it is precipitated by stress.
Please apply some anti viral cream like acyclovir.
You will get relief.
Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis and treatment
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
