There are reasons for the lips to get inflamed and blisters, and the most direct and main reason is what Chinese medicine calls "getting inflamed". Generally, Chinese medicine believes that if symptoms such as sore throat, red eyes, dry corners of the mouth, bleeding nose, swollen and painful periodontal disease occur, Chinese medicine considers it "getting inflamed". Many people will experience lip blisters due to the dry climate and windy sand during the transition from winter to spring. Many people have the habit of licking their lips with their tongue, which keeps their lips moist, but the more they lick their lips, the drier they become, forming a vicious cycle. The more they lick their lips, the drier and more painful they become, which will then cause inflammation and blisters.
