What is it?

I have a white spot on the back, left side of my tongue about half the size of a pea. It also looks like I bit the side of my tongue (but haven't). I have had this for a couple of months now. It does not hurt or bother me at all. A few weeks ago I had a cold sore on my lip but there was a hard bump next to it and the bump was there first, which eventually developed a white head and I was able to pop. A new "pimple" appeared on the other side of my lip last week, same thing; a white head appeared and I was able to pop it. I have been with a new partner in the last six months and we have had unprotected sex, including oral. Are these things related and do I have an STD?

This doesn't sound like an STD but I can't really say without seeing it. It's probably a cyst of some sort. You ought to have a doctor or dentist have a look. More than likely you won't have to do anything about it but at least you'll know what it is.
