painless sore inside mouth

[mackthurmond]

I recently began getting cuts on my lower lip.  They seems to come from nowhere, this has happened three times in the past two weeks. In addition two small red rashes appeared under my lower lip after receiving a wound to the head.  No blistering or pain came with the rashes.  I was in a relationship with a girl who a got cold sore about four months ago.  I never noticed cold sores on her while we were intimate and never noticed anything on me until about three months ago.  I just wanted to know if it was possible for HSV-1 to react without the typical cold sore symptoms and just cause cuts on my lips and red rashes.  The cuts usually heal in a day or two and are some times red.  I am also in the sun working most of the day so could this be the cause.

  In addition I have begun to get small painless blisters or what appears to be fluid less blisters on the inside of my bottom lip.  There are a few some on my inside cheek and lower inside lip.  They usually heal with in 2 days as well.  Any idea about what is wrong with me.

All sorts of things like reactions to toothpastes, mouthwashes, chewing gums etc as well as fungal infections and many other things.

  so any ideas on what else this could be.

This could be oral herpes but it's also quite likely to be something else going on. At this point it's best to go and be seen and get these properly evaluated. DO NOT ACCEPT A VISUAL DIAGNOSIS OF HERPES -  if they suspect it's oral herpes, ask them to please confirm it with a lesion culture and typing.
