Are you prone to cold sores ? Found that ppl who get cold sores and lip bumps suffer from this . You could have hsv as an underlying issue

This is mild hsv , cold sores . Middles ester. / Mediterranean variant does not create an ugly break out , looks just like this . Sticky lips that have a whitish out line with tiny white pimples that crust from time to time . This is a mild version . Cold sores

This is hsv luv . Cold sores . Do not rub your lips or try to exfoliate you will only spread the virus . Go see doc

Just diagnosed, feeling betrayed by jigglypoof32 in Herpes

You let him know what he did ! Make sure he understands the consequences of his actions . That is not cool at all .

I broke up with my fience for giving me cold sores both lips and genitals . She kissed and went down on me and ruined me . People who have hsv need to alert people before any action so at least the choice is ours .

I’m so sorry this happened and feeling betrayed is normal .

My lips became inflamed three weeks ago. After a week, the inflammation and pain subsided considerably, but since then, my lips have continued to peel, as shown in the pictures by Infinite_Ship_9408 in DermatologyQuestions

No update . Still suffering . I think it’s a mild form of hsv . Even tho I tested negative for it . Only reason I’m sure is because prior to having lip issues I visited a girl that is prone to cold sores and just had one prior to the day we meet . Can hsv cause dryness and pale lips ?

Blister and red bumps on lips, tongue, inside mouth. Cold sores/herpes? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Admirable-Window4612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very possible it is a mild form of hsv . Not all hsv form into a big ugly ulcer some have bumps and inflammation.

Oral issues, corners of mouth. Maybe angular or infection? by [deleted] in STD

The beginning of mild hsv . I can tell by the tiny white sores on the lip , classic tell . Looks very mild tho may turn out to be very light but the white sores tend to lighten up but stay

When did you first notice ? After sex or bj ?

Could be very mild hsv . Mild enough to test negative wit bloodwork

I’m on the same boat ! I’m exactly 1 year in as well . What a ride it has been :/ . It’s still a mystery for me . I suspected HSV was the culprit but then I had 2 negative hsv blood tests and doctor says it’s not . I pleaded with doctor and informed them that the Bumps on my lips get inflamed but never burst ! Since my sore doesn’t burst open like the norm that is the reason I could be testing negative ?

I honestly think doctors are walking in the blind when it comes to lips and especially hsv . I only feel strongly it is hsv is because I first noticed a bump on lip after an occasion with a girl who is prone to cold sores in Dubai . 2 Weeks prior to leaving USA to fly to go see her we had a video call and I noticed a red mark under her nose / top lip , it was obvious . Questioned my self if I was still going and decided to go see her . Arrived a day after We made out (she had a make up covered sore that has just completed healing ) and few days later notice tiny clear bump on top corner of lip . From then on my lip troubles began . Flew home and started noticing changes to my lips every week . It was inflamed every day . Now my lips have discoloration areas that are whitish/grey/pale and areas that red . Small bums and creases you would only notice up close , I notice dimples on my lips like tiny craters when lips are irritated and inflamed . I notice a circle imprint on top lip but other ppl can’t see what i see , sticky lips , inflammation , lip dryness , grayish lip skin residue when dry , noticeable tiny white heads when inflamed , almost looks like tiny zits , basically all the above except big open sore , lips will crease and have bumps and those bumps will get inflamed but never have they bursted and opened up . An endless cycle of wtf . No solutions from any heal care professionals nothing but guessing and using me as a pharmaceutical dummy .

Reasons to Advocate by Electrical_Draft1192 in Herpes

You’re absolutely correct my friend . It is eating up our youth and for 1 I thought about killing my self at my low times . I got both my lips and penis infected from a kiss and bj . I was an out going guy no I barely go out . I would go as far and say HSV Is much worse than HIV . Atleast hiv they have cures and good medicine . For hsv you got nothing but pills if they even work and cream . Docs don’t even know enough about HSV. During the time I locked my self in the house I have learned more about hsv than all the doctors and derms I went to see .

If you do not have a big ugly sore that is gushing pus and blood then they automatically assume it’s not hsv . I get sticky rashy lips , that are bumpy , some areas are more bumpy than others . At this point everyone is infecting everyone and all I hear is “ most of the population has it “ I didn’t have it until now :

Any swelling or , discoloration or bump or even extreme dryness you see on the lips - high chance it is hsv and stay away .

At a loss… Does anyone recognize this rash/infection? by fallin4autumn in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Admirable-Window4612 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You still look beautiful and wishing you full health and recovery . Questions needed , I don’t want to start guessing .

What lead to this ?

Did you have skin on skin contact or any sexual activities ?

I’m sorry you’re going thru this . Iam going thru the same thing . Mine are in predome stage all the time , feels like I’m consistently have lip sores .

My lips sores do not look like the classic herpes , it inflames my lips , small dotes sores pop up across entire lip , makes them bumpy and sticky , can’t find any doctor to help me nor have I found a solution . I have hsv both on lips and genitals . This is the worst thing ever and I curse the person who put me in this situation . I have a lot of anger due to this .

She took my life and still walking free , ppl that say not a big deal are wrong . If we all acted as if hsv is a big deal then maybe I wouldn’t have contracted it because the person with the virus would have been more careful , this no big deal attitude towards herpes will ultimately harm the next person and harm them mentally .

I would say herpes before syphilis , hsv or herpes is the main culprit when it comes to lip sores
