Lifestyle and home remedies

Here are steps you can take to improve your skin and overall health:

  • Follow your doctor's wound care instructions. Taking good care of your wounds can help prevent infection and scarring. Your doctor may have recommendations for over-the-counter creams that help control pain.
  • Gently wash your skin. Use mild soap and apply moisturizer afterward.
  • Protect your skin. Avoid activities that may hurt the skin.
  • Avoid certain foods. Blisters in your mouth could be triggered or irritated by spicy, hot or abrasive foods.
  • Minimize sun exposure. Ultraviolet light may trigger new blisters.
  • Talk with your dentist about maintaining good oral health. If you have blisters in your mouth, it may be difficult to brush your teeth properly. Ask your dentist what you can do to protect your oral health.
