Is this herpes 1?

Hi. i am ethan, i have these small blisters on my lips, by the time i am asking you this question it's almost about 3 weeks since this condition started. i consulted a dermatologist and base in the history i gave her,she suspects also that this is hsv-1. there are already several small single blister's on my lips,and there is also a one cluster of it that almost near healing, a yellow- to clear liquid fluid discharge always comes out of it. it is some times itchy but very manageable. no fever at all or enlarge lymph node since from the start. i am just to concerned that its almost a moth but it is still here, small individual patches have been appearing since then around my lower and upper lips.

please give me some insights about my condition, I've searched the wed for this and most of the symptoms are true to me, but i need personal stories who had hsv-1 already, personal information about their  experience with it, for me to campare.

thanks!!

Hi, its estimated that 70% of the adult have hsv1 so its very common. Usually the herpes sores heal in about a week or so however. Why not get tested to know for sure. Do a blood test now or when you get a new sore, have a swab done to confirm but the swab has to be within 48 hours of the outbreak.
