Hi guys, please i need you help i am desperate. Last May i bought a new lip balm, and days after that i noticed my lips stqrted peeling. I thought it was just because my office is cold, but it became swollen and i noticed that it has crusts or dried up form of a watery discharge. It finally went away and 1 month after i started using the said lip balm again, then days after that the symptoms came back. Now i noticed that i actually have very small blisters usually on the edge of my lips, but my whole lips keep having this watery discharge . the blisters arenot painful, they are just itchy but i am worried that it might be herpes.. After the 2nd outbreak i stopped using my lip balm and gave it to my mom. She had the same symptoms but it did not recur. As for me, it is now August and i am starting to experience the symptoms less than a week after the third flare up cleared. I dont know what is causing this, can you please help me? I am really worried that ot might be herpes seeing that my mom got the same symptoms as me, though as i was looking online mine did not look like the cold sores i see online.. I never engaged in any type of sexual activity so i dont know where i got it if i did have herpes. Thr blisters can be found on the edge of my lips, and it is usually accompanied b dry lips, the blisters have a clear watery discharge that crusts or dries up so i notice it early in the morning, but it can be removed by washing my lips with water particularly a hot one. It usually does not bother me but when i have it my lips are supersensitive and can itch easily when something touches it... Please help guys i am worried of herpes .. I keep thinking about it . i never had these symptoms before ..
