Hello..Welcome to HCM

I am Dr Jigar( ID specialist). I totally understand your concern.

U must have consulted a doctor for this. I can advice following things in this situation.

1. In this kind of lesion i would go for gram stain and culture to rule out candidial lesion.

2. There is high possibilty of herpes labialis if we go by your words, and if it is you should immediately start treatment of it after consulting pediatrician.

3. Last possibility which you can help to rule out is that see your child is not having habbit of lip smacking and chewing which can be infected after self injury.

I hope this will help you. Please be in touch for further queries.
