Hello and welcome to HCM,
Herpes infection around the lips is called herpes labialis.
It is characterized by development of painful fluid filled vesicles and tingling sensation around the lip.
It is commonly caused due to immunosuppresion caused by multiple causes like infections.
Topical steroids can help to resolve the infection.
Painkillers can be used for the infection.
Maintaining good nutrition and hydration is necessary.
Thanks and take care
