Hello,
I think I got oral herpes and have some questions.
I was seeing a guy. We made out a few times, just kissing. About one week after last time I came home from work with extreme fatigue, spend one and two days like that and fatigue went away. Right that time some bump developed on my lip. It seemed like a small pimple with a bit pain when touching it and nothing more. I even asked my sister if that is herpes and she said no. (She got oral herpes so I thought she'd know.)
That pimple went away in two three days but left behind an extremely dry skin at the specific area where it developed. For two weeks I had that extremely dry skin condition. They came and go and on specific but different points. Bul always on the right half of my upper lip.
Last week I got painful lymph nodes. When I check, I found the nodes in my neck and collarbone are extremely enlarged. They still hurt and for three weeks I had some minor flu like symptoms, fatigue, muscle pain, sore throat etc. They just come and go.
So my question is, did I get HSV, can it cause such symptoms during the primary infection?
Can it be something else?
Thanks!
