i went to the clinic for this just last week! the first doctor I saw said it was cold sores, but I didn't feel that was correct. I saw another doctor about it and he said it was a lip irritation. he wasn't sure what caused it but he prescribed hydro-cortisone cream and it cleared up within a few days. I also used only vaseline and the cream on my lips because the doc didn't want anything irritating it. at times the bumps were hard/sensitive and other times they got very itchy. they didn't crust over like a cold sore and there were a bunch of little ones, but they did get dry. if that sounds similar, it may be what he has.

It is a different strain of herpes. Any type of cold sore is actually herpes, unfortunately. Although not usually the same strain as genital herpes.
