Do I have herpes? Or what is it?!
Question: Do I have herpes!? Or what is it!?
I'm 16 years old!. I recently began making out with my girlfriend within the past 3 weeks!. I don't know if she might have had it!?!? OR if it's from something else!?!? 3 days ago this dry spot appeared just outside my lips to the left!. I've never seen something like this but it's just been dry and crusty the whole time!.!. It's a tiny circle!. Is this herpes!?!? Or is it just something else!?!? And what does this mean for the rest of my life!?!? I'm kinda freaking out any help would be greatWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm assuming like the other do, that it may be Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV-1)!. The crusty part of your description makes me think it might be that!. On the other hand, there is a small chance it is just a little friction sore from mouth to mandible action!. ; ) But I do think it's possibly HSV-1, aka, cold Sores!. Very many people have it!. It never goes away completely but it does tend to become less severe each time and also tends to occur less often over time as your immune system learns to ahndle the virus 9which "hides out" in nerve cells, out of reach of treatments)!. There are triggers like stress and sunshine and others that can bring on an "outbreak"!.
One of the things that makes me think you may not be infected is that I'd expect a worse primary outbreak than you describe!. Also, your GF would likely have shown similar signs though in rare cases the virus "sheds" and can infect but doesn't result in an outbreak in the person who is "shedding"!.
I'm not convinced it's Herpes but you should fidn out for certain from a doctor!.
There's plenty of information on the Net about it!. http://www!.smart2ask!.org/popups/Herpes!.h!.!.!. has a lot though the emphasis is on genital herpes!. Incidentally, someone mentioned that you could pass on HSV-1 to someone's genital area if you engaged in oral sex!. That is a possibility though the genitals / anus provide a better host site for HSV-2 (usually called Genital Herpes) and it is not as likely to pass HSV-1 to genitals!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
