Sorry I have no experience with blood blisters.

I have had mouth blisters, but they weren’t sore at all and went away on their own. I’m pretty sure mine were a side effect of Calquence.

[Virosafe2001]

I had many blood blisters, mainly inside the cheeks and on the tongue. But this was before starting Calquence, and my platelets were low (6 as opposed to 16+ normal). So I was also getting very localised bruises as well. Since being on Calquence (> 2 years) platelets have recovered to 12-15, and mouth ulcers and blood blisters are much less frequent. However, a cold or throat infection seems to bring them back, during the acute phase. I avoided acidic foods (citrus fruits, vinegar, Rhubarb,etc) and use an alcohol-free mouth wash. Blisters now only seem to last 6 to 12Hr. If they are blisters in the mouth, rather than ulcers, I would not use any of the propriety anti-mouth ulcer medications, and avoid very hot drinks. Hope this helps.
