Red pimple on top lip, hurts when I press down on it.

I noticed I have having a small red pimple growing right on the top of my lip, right where my lip line starts..that area is red and sensative. When I press on it it hurts. What can this be. I hoope i didnt catch anything orally? is this a sign of oral herpes

This could be herpes, it could be a blocked oil gland on the lip or it could just be a regular ole run of the mill pimple ( as well as it could be many other things too ). If you want to know what it is, see your provider for an exam and proper testing.

grace i notice you dont see the small bump right on my lip, when you touch it you can feel the little bump and its not red anymore, was red for a couple of hrs when you press it, it hurts. do u really think this can be herpes?

im so scared and nervous? what other signs should i look for if it was herpes?

If you can't see it, it's probably not herpes.

You can google cold sores for more info on what to look for - lots of decent sites out there.

yea you cant see it you only feel it when you touch it..what do u think this can be. and why is it when i press on it, it hurts, but you can see it just feel it..when it was forming that area was red, but now the redness went away , i didnt see a bump even when it was red.

since you cant see the bump and only feel it when you touch it and hurts when you press on it what can this be? and its not red anymore i dont think. i might feel some kind of slight sensativity.burning maybe i dont know...i shouldnt worry? i just noticed this today when i touched my lips would you be able to see the bump buy now if it was herpes?

grace i looked up cold sore and this is what it says on one website..."Definition
The scenario is all too familiar: You feel a tingling on your lip and a small, hard spot that you can't yet see. Sure enough, in a day or two, red blisters appear on your lip" is this herpes...u said if i cant see it its not herpes...this website says it is herpes?

[gracefromHHP]

I first advice is - stop pressing on it - LEAVE YOUR HANDS OFF OF IT!!!

See your doctor tuesday for further evaluation. Not much else we can do to help you unfortunately.
