Is it HSV1?

Up until just this last hour I had no symptoms after 10 days since my last partner. Still waiting on labs for a check, no visible signs on her, but now I just got a burning sensation on my lip eating popcorn. There is now a small red bump on lower lip line. Not burning now, but there is a very small yellow spot when skin is stretched out. I am pissed at myself if it is. I have no idea what to do, and doc is on vacation.

Still not sure, I had a similar sensation on the side of the lip after eating popcorn again.  I do have what appear to be tiny mucosels that have not changed in size.  I put blistex med and iced it and it went down in inflammation as well.  I am also taking a nootropic to calm down the nervous system for another condition that is also acts as an antiviral.  So it could be suppressing a full blown outbreak.  My urine also burns on occasion, I will have that checked out soon.  Hopefully it is a uti or something that antibiotics can cure.

Can I spread herpes to other parts of my body if I make contact with a sore?  Thanks again.

Do not forget, if it is on your lip LINE... On your skin, let's say, it could definitely be a pimple. No doubt about that. If you lick your lips a lot, dry them, or rub them with your arm often, you can get bacteria in such in the area around your mouth.

Update: the spot still tingles a bit, not sure if in head.  I put some ice on it and it went down to almost nothing.  Is that normal for herpes?  Hopefully it does not get worse when I wake up.
