Bumps/Blisters that last a long time
I read from medhelp that primary outbreak of oral herpes typical starts at day 4 to 7 after infection, and within 3 days or so, there will be red bumps then turn into blisters rapidly and then erupt to form sores and lesions.
I'm concerned with an encounter recently that I suspect may lead to me contracting oral herpes. I've examined my lips closely after the incident and discovered there are several tiny bumps above my upper lip, which can be seen when really close to my lips.
At first I thought they were blisters, and are mild symptoms or oral herpes as they are small in size. But after more than 1 week or so, those tiny bumps are still there, even though some seems to get bigger? (not too sure actually), but did not really turn into blisters/sores.
If they are blisters, they should erupt to lesions rapidly within few days according to medhelp's expert answers, so are the bumps actually oral herpes that display mild symptoms, or are they other kinds of STDs?
p.s. I got a painful canker sore inside my cheek during this period, don't know if this is relevant to oral herpes symptoms too
