you shouldn't get the igm testing done. herpes igm testing is a greatly flawed test and a waste of your time and money.

you also don't want csf testing done. You aren't going to go have a spinal tap done to test for herpes.

herpes igg blood testing is the only testing you want done but you have to wait 3 months after the last time you had sex/oral sex/kissed someone in order for it to be accurate.

you won't have an oral herpes for this long. even ifyou do have hsv1, this doesn't sound like it reoccurring.

I don't recommend ordering up your own testing at this point at all. go and be seen and get a proper exam done since this is very unlikely to be a herpes issue. make sure it is just something normal you are taking a lot of notice of and not something that needs further treatment like impetigo or something.

you can get urine testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Just a routine urine culture though isn't for std testing.

Hi! Its been more than 20 days since i have noticed those bumps on my lips and they are still there.
I emailed a lab to ask if they perform tests for herpes they replied "Yes we have a blood test for herpes..Test are Herpes IgG and Herpes IgM, and we are also performing these Herpes IgG and IgM in CSF"
Could someone tell me if i should go for IgG or IgM and whats CSF, is this another way of testing or another test?
I did not get if they meant to say if they perform all the IgG and IgM tests in CSF or if they are saying performing IgG and igM in CSF is another option.  

And also do we have to mention that we to get tested for "HSV 1 or 2"

I also want to know if urine culture can detect chlamydia. As I cannot find any other test for chlamydia here.

sounds more like pearly papules they occur on both the penis and lips and yes I mean lips on your face...but if youre concerned then you should see your health care provider given the fact we cant actually diagnose you.
