Recommended Posts

So I'm freaking out. Two weeks ago I got this tiny white bump on my inner lip. I kept poking at it with my tongue and it grew in size. It became a white clear bubble and burst. A few days later it happened again and I gargle warm water and salt and it popped and went away. The same thing occurred yesterday the bump has surfaced again in the same spot. It's a clear white bubble, based on the pictures I seen it looks like a mucocoele, but I don't know. It does not case any pain, just a little discomfort. I already have genital hsv. The doctors never confirmed if it was hsv 1 or 2. What are the test names for hsv 1 and hsv 2?

Hey dimples,

 

I'm wondering if it's a canker sore. They tend to occur on the inside of the lips or gums, while oral herpes occurs more on the surface of the lips.

80% of people actually have oral herpes, it's actually more normal to have it than to not.. crazy huh? You can figure out if you have hsv 1 or 2 by a simple blood test.

 

I'm sure it'll all get figured out tomorrow. Take a deep breathe and give yourself some love. I'm thinking that it's a canker sore, but even if it is oral herpes, it's completely manageable and okay. I work as a nurse, and I see cold sores on my co-workers aaaallllll the time during the winter here in CO. It's HSV1, and there's really no stigma to it. There's all sorts of ointments that people use to help it heal also.

 

Goodluck tomorrow and I hope you sleep peacefully tn :)
