Ok today I woke up and I felt something on the upper left side of my lip. I thought maybe it was a pimple in an odd spot or something but I looked in the mirror and it was these little white blister looking things. I wasn't sure what to do but I thought maybe if I kinda squeezed them like a zit whatever was in them would come out and my lip would go back to normal. In the process of squeezing the blister looking bumps I ended up causing a layer of skin to come off my lip since the skin is sensitive and thin. It sorta healed back after a few hours though and then there were more of the blister looking things and it looked as if I never popped the original ones. It's really sensitive and hurts whatever it is. I never have gotten a cold sore in my whole life so I didn't think it would be that but idk. I heard that cold sores are a form of herpes, not sure if this is true though. All I can think of is that I caught something from my best friend (who I also dated for almost 3 years until the first of this year). We went out and ate and saw a movie and stuff sunday and we got a piece of cake and shared it but didn't finish it all so I took it home to eat later and last night I ate the remaining part of the cake. So did I maybe catch something from eating after him? If I did he would have to have whatever I have too then wouldn't he? I don't know much about herpes but a gal friend of mine has herpes and so I know a little about them and know that they are like blister things. I haven't ate after anyone else besides my best friend/ex so I couldn't have caught anything from someone else. So do I have some form of herpes on my upper lip? I'm really confused so if anyone knows anything about this please give me your thoughts. My parents would be upset if I had caught something like that and so I'm embarrassed to let them find out but the blister things on my lip are somewhat noticeable. Please help!
No, I've never had unprotected sex because I'm a virgin and obviously never had sex. I kissed my ex when we dated but never did anything more with him or anyone else. Whatever the thing is on my lip has turned into a little scab and it isn't blistery like anymore but now its kinda red on the inside of my lip as well but the redness inside my lip has shrunk some too though so I guess maybe it's healing some. - 7 months ago
The chance of this being a sexually transmitted disease is one in a million. It's a very minor skin eruption, probably a cold sore (herpes simplex). Ask in a pharmacy - they'll probably give you some Aciclovir. If you use this and leave it alone, it should go after a week to 10 days. - 7 months ago

If it's definitely not a regular zit, then I'd say it's a cold sore. This is a mild form of herpes, but don't lose sleep over it. Cold sores are real easy to get and are aggravated by stress. Get some Aciclovir cream from a good pharmacy and it should clear in about a week. Squeezing or bursting it may cause it to spread and will hurt like hell-so don't! It may be a bit unsightly so you could try applying the cream, then covering it with gentle make-up, but if it makes it sore, take it off. Not a lot you can do, I'm afraid, other than wait for it to heal.
Oh well I've been really stressed lately so I guess that ain't going to help with this any, darn. But does this mean my best friend/ex has herpes too or just me? - 7 months ago

It's hard to say. The cold sore herpes virus is so common you could have got it from anywhere (off a cup in a coffee shop, for example). Don't beat yourself up about it-you're one of millions with this problem. My doctor told me to try to avoid getting into stressful situations (easier said than done!) and he was right-leading a calmer life has greatly reduced the number of cold sore that I get. - 7 months ago
