  1. Just an update: I got the IGM and it did come back negative but I don’t really trust it. After the sore healed, I started developing a burning sensation in my lips and it can be all over my entire lips or only in certain areas and it comes and goes. I also get a tingling sensation in the spot where I had the sore and sometimes other places on my lips. The other day my nostrils started burning and are bright red inside now. I couldn’t get a good picture and can’t tell with my lighting if there is a sore inside but I will see my doc tomorrow. I may have autoinculated myself when I didn’t realize I had it :/. Now as a precaution, I’m taking valtrex and putting abreva to keep everything at bay so I don’t make it worse. And as for the person i was dating. I learned that there are people out there where if they aren’t dealing with the problem, they don’t care. Suffice to say, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. But I’ll keep pushing through this!
  2. Thanks for the reply and all the thorough details and advice! I really really do appreciate. I am going to work up the courage to bring it up to her this weekend. I am also going to get an IGM test scheduled to see if it gives me a little bit more details and then the IGG later. I should have more details. It is the spot with the indentation on it in the first photo. The second photo is the same spot just zoomed in maybe 25x over the next day. Before the spot came, I did notice redness and a little tingling. I do think it came from her private area if it is something because we have been together for over a month and then the bump happened shortly after.
  3. Hi everyone, I started trying to google to see if this was herpes and it looks like all of those pictures are more on the extreme side. I ended up finding this site and really appreciate that it’s out there for support. So I’m planning on getting tested but I’m in the limbo stage waiting for the incubation period. But I just wanted to get some feedback because I am a little worried. What happened is i started dating a girl and we have been kissing a lot and then it progressed to unprotected oral sex. She has mentioned she is more experienced. I do have very sensitive skin and I get folliculitis and atopic dermatitis sometimes. I didn’t notice any visible sores when we were fooling around. But my lip turned a little red almost immediately after and it felt a little tingly. A couple days later, I got this bump (I took a regular pic and a zoomed in pic with a magnifier). The bump doesn’t hurt at all even if I touch it. But it does feel a little itchy in the area (I think cause I’m not moisturizing the area right now). It never itches directly on it i talked to two doctors, one said if it doesn’t progress to multiple blisters then it’s not herpes. It never did, it’s started to heal already. The other said it looks more of the pimple variety. Neither had the option to do a swab. What I was hoping for some feedback on us.. 1. Is that doctor correct? I thought you can have a single sore for herpes. It doesn’t have to be a cluster 2. does it look like a typical herpes sore? Right now, I feel like the doctors I saw didn’t have much experience in this area. That I should have gone to a derm or a place like planned parenthood 3. Can I get the igg/igm test now that a “sore” may have happened and started to heal? Does this mean that the antibodies would have already developed? 4. Should I bring it up to her or wait till I get the test results back?
