Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small red blotchy rashes around the mouth which are pointing towards allergic reaction. The allergic reaction occur due to some food or medication. It could be due to recurrent aphthous stomatitis caused by viral infection. It could be due to poor immunity of body. I would suggest you to :-

- Apply dologel on these red bumps and avoid hot, sharp and spicy food.

- Drink plenty of fluids.

- Avoid taking food like nuts or sea foods .

- To give cold compresses to affected area 2-3 times a day .

- Take over the counter anti allergic drug like benadryl or zyrtec.

Consult dermatologist for proper examination for find out exact cause . Doctor may order allergy specific test to find out what exactly causing allergy. Also consult dentist for examination. Dentist may prescribe antibiotics and start treatment as per diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
