Little white bumps on edge of mouth

Ok i've kissed on his girl on and off. shes bisexual and acts slutty but she never seemed to do more than kissing. Last time i did was one time in November, and another time in late october and i did it once or twice in august i cant remember. Last time i looked at her mouth was in october because in November we frenched kissed on the beach at night so i never really got a good look. Her mouth didn't look ***** just had like two bumps that were pressed together i think on each side of her mouth, not red or ***** or blistery.  i see her about 3 times a week at school and she seems to look fine. I dont remember to much about myself looking for anything or worrying about it in december because i didn't know you could contract it from kissing. Now i feel i need to check myself everytime i look in a mirror, i notice a one white pump about 1/3 of an inch from the corner of my mouth, nothing is ***** or bleeding or red. Some of the other white pumps i have my mom also has except for that one in the corner and the outside white pumps. Its been 6 months now since i've touched her. When my lips are chapped it feels as my corner is a lot more dry than my everything else. My father told me that theres nothing to be worried about, it would be really bad by now and all ***** looking since its been 6 months, but I looked online and all the facts about it really gets to my head saying that you sometimes dont feel the symptoms. I'm really concerned please help.

Doubt its herpes then.  They go away after about 10 days.  I have bumps on the corner of my mouth and its just oil glands.  Like I said I don't think you have anything to worry about.  If you want the peace of mind you can get an acurrate IgG blood test from your doctor to tell you your own status.  Hope it helps.

My girlfriend says she's 100% she doesn't have it. she gets tested the full test every 3 months and she says i have no symptoms. I believe the stuff on the edge of my mouth is oil glands but i have little rough spots on the inside of my cheeks. What worries me is that its possible for it to be asymptomatic... please inform mee anyone!

herpes will not stick around this long. whatever is going on, it's somethign else.

bumps inside your lip that you only see when you stretch them out are normal.

and whats an outbreak feel like so i can get an idea?
Nothing has really changed dramatically. My parents tell me if i had it they would be able to tell instead of me  having to stretch out my lip to show them the few white bumps i have that  never go away.

oil glands on the lips can look more obvious at times.

they also can become blocked and cause white heads/pimples too.

at your age, 1 out of every 3 of your friends has hsv1 orally. it's very common. Not many of us make it to the old folks home without it to be honest.

its not a cold sore is what my parents tell me. and the bumps dont come and go, there always there. no pain, no blister, no redness.

There is some description here that doesn't really help.  You say pumps... I assume you mean bumps.  I am not directly sure.  

Lets work on a few things first.

Herpes doesn't last 6 months out without a break.  Herpes does come and go during the time. There are some conditions in which one would get some bumps on the skin near the mouth.  They can even get some bumps on the lips that are nothing majorly important.

Given that the best thing to do is seek out your doctor for looking at this to have them tell you whats going on.  Even if she has HSV-1 orally about 50% of the US adult population has it and typically get it during our childhood years.  Nothing really major about the coldsores.  My advice seek the assistance of your doctor.  They can give you a better idea.  Your bumps could just be acene.
