What Causes Blisters And Swelling On The Lips?

I have been to Dr dermatologist in 3 states more that 20 doctors no one can figure out what is going on with my body. I break out in blisters some times they are small like water blisters some times they are red look like moles I break out in different parts of my body not the same areas each time. I also my lips can swell I even get blisters inside my mouth some times my eyes will swell shut also all the skin have pealed off my hands due to all the blisters. I have to wear gloves to protect my hand from busting open due to my skin is so thin I can not grip a water bottle to open anymore. Do you have any clues as to what is going on. Also my bones hurt it’s like they are sore as if I worked out at the gym I also takes months for a cut to heal completely

As per your query symptom such as blisters and swelling on the lips are pointing towards to condition an allergic reaction or infection. The allergic reaction can occur due to various reasons like food allergy, allergy from tooth paste or other dental product or excessive exposure to sun . Blisters can also occur due to herpes infection. I would suggest you to take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl ,keep your lip moist by applying lip balm containing broad spectrum sunscreen stop using any product on face or inside mouth if you start it recently and apply clove oil at night . If condition still persist then consult dermatologist for proper examination and to rule out any other underlying disease. Doctor may order blood test and prescribe topical/oral antibiotics/antiviral depending upon the condition and topical steroid.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
