is this herpes or acne??? PLEASE HELP

im not sure if this is herpes or acne. i’m in the middle of a breakout right now so i have a lot of pimples right now… i’m just not sure what this is. PLEASE HELP!

This looks like angular cheilitis. It can have several causes (like stress). I often have it together with a breakout as well. Usually I use a hydrating lip balsem and it goes away. Did it go away?

Yes! But it’s scarred around my mouth now:(

It doesn’t resembles cold sores to me.

thats what mine looks like and i have hsv 1 my doctor said its common and nothing to really worry about because it can happen from sharing chapstick with someone or from getting kissed in the mouth or sharing drinks but i could be wrong id just go to the doctor and get the blood and swab test
