Herpes in mouth?

I had protected sex with a new guy just a few nights ago, and I did give him a blowjob as well...but what's concerning me is my lip. He bit me very very hard all night, and my lip immediately swelled up and stayed that way for about a day. It was bleeding and cracked, and some of the skin was green and peeled off. Now, I have a cluster of small bumps right where the bite was. It's on my lower lip right on the inside. I do have a history with canker sores but these do not hurt. Is there anyway this is already herpes or an STD?? Help! I guess I should also add that I have super super sensitive skin anyways, and the swelling/cutting didn't alarm me. It is the fact that they have been replaced by bumps. They are small in size and the original abrasion has healed up but I am just nervous.

Thank you so much for your response! The bumps are healing up rather normally at the moment in my opinion. I guess I'm just wondering if my partner were to hypothetically have HSV 2 would my odds of catching it be high? From oral sex, that is, he wore a condom for everything else. I did not notice an outbreak and he did not "finish," to try and not be too graphic. Again thanks for your response. I have very sensitive skin so there's always something awry.

Hi, it would really appear the bumps are from the bite as herpes is most often on the outside not the inside. But if it is herpes, the next phase is they should open and release clear liquid, then scab over. Have a blood test now as you already may have herpes as upward of 65% of the adult population would test positive for oral hsv1. So if you already have it, you ant catch it again.
