Is this herpes?

I'm a little worried, but after looking at a lot of pictures of people with herpes outbreaks, I'm not sure what to think. The skin is dry because I started putting benzoyl peroxide on it. Also I put a little.cover up on so the first pic looks flakier than it really is They look more like zits than sores. Anyone have input? Thank you

I appreciate the quick response, the picture that looks "flakey" began as a bump under the skin that I tried to pop but couldn't really, so the area around is little red from using BP , but you say you don't believe it's herpes from what you See?

You might want to have a herpes blood test for hsv1 as many many people have it and got it from childhood but your photos dont have appear as a herpes outbreak unless they are at the scabbing and falling off stage.

Corners of my mouth, but they are not as pronounced as the flash photos make them look.
