Blister on lip

I would treat it like any other burn injury and leave it at the moment to heal itself under the blister.

Sounds nasty! I would just leave it alone and see what happens.

Blisters always need to be left to empty themselves, they are there for a reason (to heal) if you drain the fluid from them you're left with an open wound, longer healing time and potential for infection.

Yeah, I'm sure you are all correct - I'm terrible for picking at things. How I haven't ruined all my tattoos by picking at the scabs, I'll never know. But they go to show that I can restrain myself when really necessary.

I'm gutted cos I'm terrified of the dentists and have been working really hard on overcoming my fear this round of treatment, and it was going pretty well yesterday til the lip burn incident. I was struggling not to burst into tears and it's really set me back now. God damnit.

I would leave it to do its thing. You have my sympathy -l have dentist phobia so something like this would set me back. I hope it heals quickly.

There is a tiny patch for cold sores that you can put over it made by compeed. It doesn't contain any medication so might be suitable for a normal blister as it's made from the same stuff that they make foot blister plasters from. H uses them for cold sores and he says, much like the feet ones do, they give immediate relief as your body thinks it has healed. Will also stop you picking it. They are transparent so you can't really see them. Might be worth a go?

Ooh maybe, I will look into that, thanks

Try Germolene but after that it will still remain dried out, Elizabeth Arden 18 Hour Cream is fantastic for lip health (as with so many other things).

Ah, it's healed now the mark only just disappeared in the last day or two, though. Thankfully I don't need any more fillings for now so hopefully it won't happen again...
