What Causes Blisters Inside The Lips After Taking Imiquimod?

I just started the treatment of Imiquimod. I have had four days of treatment so far, I apply this on my bottom exterior of my lip and I am getting blisters on the interior of the lip its really red and burns Is this normal? The biggest problem is I live in AZ I am in the sun and try to stay in the shade. Do you have any other suggestions doing this treatment when living in the extreme heat?
