ok to start off with im a very paranoid and hypochondriac person and this has been on my mind for the past 24 hours. and id appreciate any help and advice i can get!
so yesterday someone with a pimple like thing (which i dont know if its a cold sore or not) on his lip touched my lip with his hand so i started thinking what if he had just touched his lip and so on.. so a while later i started getting a tingling sensation on my lip and looked in the mirror and it looked like a whitehead was forming. Now i know that when someone gets infected with herpes it takes more than 2 hours fr the virus to kick in but ill go on..
a few months ago i got a pimple on my upper lip.. i dont know if its herpes or not. Its not the first time that happens to me.. i had one 2 years ago as well and the thing is ive googled pictures of cold sores and mine looks nothing like tht. they just look like normal pimples but they stay for MONTHS. and it scars too. So my question is. Can herpes just look like pimples as well? and if i dont have herpes why does it tingle?
Thanks!
