help Are these little white bumps on my lips a herpes outbreak?

[Idunnooooo]

Hi guys 

so I’ve had genital HSV-1 for over a year now and now all of a sudden I’m starting to get little white bumps on my lip. Can it be herpes? I’m so confused because I thought if I would have an outbreak it would be on my genitalia not my actual lips 👄 . I’m freaking out and I just need answers. Has this happened to someone before? Can you get it on your face and your genitalia??

Hi! Doesn't sound like it by your description of the little white bumps. Herpes outbreaks generally present as either sores with a clear liquid inside or as "papercuts" (usually these show up in genital presentations). And yes, you can get HSV-1 genitally as well (most genital HSV-1 is transmitted from a partner who has oral HSV-1 and performs oral sex on their partner).
