thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the blister could be because of lichen planus calledbullous lichen planus or herpes virus infection. the lump be a periapical abscess secondary to tooth infection or gum infection. consult your oral physician and get it ruled out. if it is because of lichen planus the you can use topical steroids. if it is tooth infection take a course of anntibiotics and get the tooth treated. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
