Hi,

I can understand your concern for blister on lip at the site of dog bite after getting stitches.

The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.

If I were your treating dermatologist then would have suggested you to apply plain antibacterial cream such as fusidic acid or mupirocin (latest is retapamulin) and to take pain killer tablet by mouth for reducing the intensity of pain and redness. You can additionally take antihistamine benadryl or loratadine by mouth.

Take care.
