Worry how? About what?

It might be a cold sore. Have you had one before? Has your boyfriend?

Oral herpes is very, very common. I'm not sure what you're asking, exactly, and what is concerning you so much. If you can elaborate, I'll try to help. :)

Ya it might be what u r talking abt....
But neither me nor my bf had this....
And moreover, the cold sore occurred in my lower lip after 2-3 days of kissing......
So, ummm I was confused ......

Okay, I'm still not sure what your actual question is.

If it's a cold sore, it could be either a new infection for you from your boyfriend, or an existing infection for you. Most people who have oral hsv1 - herpes simplex 1 - never get symptoms, but they can still transmit it.

It might not be a cold sore. Maybe you bit your lip in your sleep. You should let your doctor look at it.

Thank u very much fr answering me.........
I think it has come frm my boyfriend....
If it has come frm him then is there anything to worry??

[auntiejessi]

If you both have it, then no.

I would avoid giving oral sex when you have symptoms, as should he, but that's it.
