On the lips, herpes blisters manifest as small, rounded, fluid-filled sacs, often in clusters. These blisters typically have a clear or slightly cloudy appearance. The surrounding area of the lip may become red and inflamed, creating a noticeable contrast with the unaffected skin. These blisters can be quite tender and may cause a burning or tingling sensation. As they progress, the blisters may rupture, resulting in shallow ulcers or sores on the lip's surface. Over time, a crust or scab may form as the sores begin to heal, eventually falling off as the skin underneath repairs itself. This condition can be uncomfortable and aesthetically noticeable, leading to social and personal challenges for those affected.
