I initially felt a burning sensation on the side of my lip about the middle of June.I saw a few little pimples with fluid in them come on the side of my lip. I scratched it, got nervous about it because I thought I looked hideous and then placed lipstick on my lips. Then I noticed small pimples under the surface of my lip everywhere on my lips. I had to stretch my skin for them to be seen. I went to the doctors and they said it could be a small cold sore. I shouldn't touch anywhere. I got paranoid that someone I had sexual relations with gave it to me. So I looked below but using tissue and not my bare fingers.
The symptoms have been always been here. My lip has never felt the same, just itchy, funny and sore. I have been to the doctors seven times over June and July. One said my lips looked like an allergy, another, my lip looks fine, other said it could be a small coldsore. I got paranoid so I bought one of those lip balms that I found on the Herpes Association website. I used it and it lessens the pain a bit. I have now seen ulcers in my mouth. and swellings under my skin under my top lip. Plus the nerves are enlarged towards the sore in my mouth.
I spoke to the lady from the Herpes Association and she said that I cannot re-infect myself after my initial event. I figured this must be the second event because of everything that has been happening before this one. I hadn't shaved in a while and I was wondering if that is the reason why the doctors cannot see my vagina well enough to see if I have anything down there. So I washed my hands and shaved. Then I took a bath and wiped myself dry. I then had a look myself with my hands because I thought that I couldn't infect myself with my hands because I had washed it. Do you think I could have infected down there?
Also, during one of my visits, the doctor gave me aciclivor, and I have been using it. I used it correctly for 3 days, but the last two days, I haven't been taking it at the right times.
