The skin can do some werid things.
thanks for your help. i think i just freak myself out a lot with the whole diseases thing. never got these bumps on my lip like this before i have had lone cankersores and such but never painless, colorless small bumps in plural.
If you have cold sores you have HSV already. You will not get a new infection at the same location unless it is a different type of HSV. The bumps you describe are normal. Stop looking so deep. If you have look that close chances are its not herpes. As I said you already know you have HSV since you get coldsores.
i have also been stressing out A LOT, so i wasn't sure if maybe the bumps could be from extreme anxiety or something instead of herpes.
the only thing that worried me was i read that herpes symptoms show up 2-20 days after exposure.. and it happened around 12:30 am late friday night/early saturday morning and i woke up around 11 am on sunday with the bumps. i never noticed them before so i was scared that maybe this could be oral herpes. it's too soon to be tested for it because i know you're supposed to wait like 3-4 months after exposure? i have gotten cold sores before periodically, and feel as though it runs in the family because my mother, aunt, and grandmother get them as well. and i know that is a sign of hs1. i just don't know what to think about it. the bumps don't seem "normal" but i just want to be sure that they don't seem like a "minor" outbreak of oral herpes because all i have ever seen pictures of are pretty serious outbreaks.
This wouldn't be herpes this soon. See your doctor for a workup but I bet they are just normal spots.
Have you been tested to know your own status?
