Oral herpes or bug bite?

Woke up this morning with an itch on my bottom lip. It's a little swollen but not red. Then a few hours later I get another itch and swollen spot on the other side of my lip.  The only sexual encounter I had lately was like 11 days ago and I was an oral sex recipient, no kissing or contact near my mouth at all. Could I have contracted oral herpes or just a rogue mosquito?

Hi, without lip rubbing contact, you cannot contract oral herpes.
