No they don't look anything alike.

I suppose they could be confused. The best way to sort that out would be to have a dentist evaluate the bump on your lip.

I do often worry about this. I dont think I had OCD, because I never had it before. But recently my anxiety about everything has just been getting worse and worse.
Yesterday I got a little hard bump on the inside of my lip. This morning it was flat, and it feels like it has been popped. It looks like just a mucocele, it doesn't hurt that much, just the tiniest little bit. I looked up pictures, and it looks just like all the pictures of small mucoceles. But I can't help but worry about it.
Are the two often confused with each other? Mucoceles and herpes? Is this just another case of me worrying for no reason?
Nothing that you have described sounds like herpes to me.
Everyone has bumps on the sides of their tongues, of one kind or another. And everyone has bumps on their tongues, too. They are taste buds.
I do believe you are worrying for no reason, yes.
I don't know what you did to your tongue, but honestly, I think if you had brand new herpes, you would more likely have sores around the mouth, not just on the tongue.
Do you most often worry like this about acquiring an STD?

can i expect an answer to this during the weekend? I have a date with a very attractive girl next week, and I am a little nervous about going to it with this on my mind.
There are a few bumps on the side of my tongue, and I could post pictures if it would be helpful.
But from reading different sites, I think the places where blisters were leave pitted red spots on the tongue after they heal up. The bumps i have on the back and right side of my tongue are purplish, dont hurt, and look like the tongue has just been overcompensating for trauma that occurred from biting the tongue.
Basically what I want to know is if I'm worrying for no reason. Is it possible to confuse an initial herpes outbreak with biting your tongue? Or did I bite my tongue riding the horse, and now I'm working myself up about it,
I just recently tested negative for herpes, but I have kissed two girls since then so im just a little worried
there is a little purple bump on that side of my tongue that i did notice before either. It is just a small bump and doesn't really look like it was at any time a blister.
As I am always noticing new things about my skin and body now, I'm not really sure if its significant, but i just thought id mention it.
