Oral Herpes????

[knight13]

I gave oral sex to a girl for about 30 seconds or so exactly 13 days ago.  About 3 days ago i noticed this lump on my lower lip on my left side.  It feels wierd not really that painful or but noticiable.  I thought it was just a pimple coming in because i can't feel it on my inner lip just on the outside of my skin.  But, its been three days and the lump is still there also, my inner lip has developed these two small lesions.  They are not painful at all and probably not many people would notice them but since i'm thinking abou them i am.  they do not itch and not painful..  O yah and my left side of my lymph node is starting to swell and i don't know what to think about that..  Are these symptoms of oral herpes....  One more thing, i am an addicitive tobacco chewer, but havent chewed tobacco since noticing the lump.  

Any input would be appreciated... Thanks

If you chew tobacco, you have bigger problems than oral herpes. Chewing tobacco is like oral cancer waiting to happen. It's more likely than not related to your habit. Consider chewing gum instead of tobacco.

Hi there -

This could be herpes, or it could be some nasty something from the chewing tobacco.

You need to see your doc as soon as possible, and ask that the new blisters be cultured and typed for herpes.  Also let your doc know you chew, and see if he thinks its from that.
