Testing to see if you are HSV1 positive can help. Don't be surprised if you are. More than 60% of then entire human population is. That still does not mean that HSV1 is the cause of your symptoms with your lip. Other than that, it is not std related.
this sounds more like something non-herpes going on.
if these are in the corners of your lips, more likely it's angular chelitis. this can even be caused by tartar control/complete/whitening toothpastes.

these are slight above the corners of my lips...more along a regular fold. With herpes doesnt the lip stop the burning sensation? This has been going on for over 3 weeks, except the cuts, they went away. I will get tested, but I wish I could have some sort of idea what i am looking at.
What type of medicine if given if it HSV1?
There are different antivirals used to treat HSV. Which one depends on what your doctor recommends.
