Bottom Lip Burnt With Blisters, Tried Abreva, Slightly Relieved. Now Spreading To Entire Lip After Eating Sweets. Allergy To Sugar ?

Hi. At Halloween time, I ate chocolate and other sweets which I typically do not eat. The next day my bottom lip burned, was inflammed, and contained a few small blister like bumps. I treated with Abreva as I do have a history of cold sores . However, the blisters are much smaller and less pain and do not crust over. Over the next several days the blisters spread across my lip...each section of bumps healing after a few days. After dealing with this for about 2 weeks, my lips were back to normal until the other night after I ate a very sweet piece of cake. My lip had 2 blisters within minutes, and now the blisters are yet again spreading across my entire lip. Could this be an allergy to sugar.? My everyday diet is high protein, lots of almonds, and eggs . Thank you!

SUGAR DOES NOT CAUSE ALLERGY
IF THE LIPS ARE NORMAL IN BETWWEN THEN YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO SUSTANCE TAT YOU EAT IN BETWEEN
THE ALLERGY CAN DEVELOP AT ANY TIME AR ANY AGE BY ANY SUBSTANCE
I THINK YOU MAYBE ALLERGIC TO YEAST
AS CKE CONTAINS YEAST AND CHOCLATE ALSO CONTAINS AND MANY OTHER SWEETS
BUT FOR CONFIRMATION GET BLOOD SERUM TEST FOR SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES FOR YEAST AND OTHER COMMON FOOD LIKE MILK EGG NUTS RICE AND POTATO
