Dear Doctor,
I was hoping you could offer any information to me as I'm uninsured and will seek medical help as soon as I can afford to see a doctor, In the meantime you may be able to ease my mind here a bit..
Ok my health history has been good i have have back & neck pain for 4 yrs from an auto accident.
My concern here is I kissed a man kinda heavy kissing, The very next day my lip felt a little funny then exactly 4 days after my lip was not only feeling okward tingling, and my upper top lip started to look a bit swelled and almost like cracked looking, from the mid center area going almost inside my inner lip ok so it was very uncomfortable then finally what looked like a cold sore appeared on the top of my upper lip then as that healed i had one just to the right of the first one and then another and also at this time the roof of my mouth is slightly inflamed on the left side ok so no its affecting my bottom lip as well most of the time these sores just look like an ulcer and they dont scab over and i don't notice fluid.
My lips itch burn feel warm slightly swell they drive my crazy and the worst part is is now its my lips top and bottom and the roof of my mouth all feeling uncomfortable and this has been going on for about 52 long days i can see tiny little white bumps on my top lip in the center and very tiny red spots i have been using alot of chap stick
This seems to me like HSV 1 but it has been going on for the 52 days and that seems long for hsv1 should i see an std clinic regular doctor or dentist for the best help
also is there any other conditions you think this could be besides HSV Thank you so much Doctor for your help to me and all the others you help on this site
