Rare Oral Herpes? PLEASE HELP!

Infections
1

Approximately 5 years ago a drunk girl gave me a peck on the lips, I wiped my lips off.

The next morning I woke up with a painful rash all over my top lip that dried up and resulted in chapped lips, where the skin died and regenerated. No pus or obvious cold sore.

I have had this same outbreak approximately once a year except for this year where I have had it almost continuously, I have been very stressed.

I went to the doctor who says it isn’t cold sores (I have to wait 2 weeks for a blood test), however I have found someone who tested positive for HSV2 by blood test with my EXACT symptoms.

Before an outbreak, my lip/nose area is tingling a lot and I feel a strong twitching in my lip.

Is it possible that I have mild cold sores?

It is possible but you won’t know until you receive your results. What is the weather like right now? If it’s once a year and it is in the colder months, it could be a result of that… just the weather. I get acne on my mouth area, outside of my lips and also get chapped/peeling lips… occasionally I’ll have tingling or burning but never get a cold sore. It’s just lip sensitivity.

I get it in all weathers, mostly in the summer. I really hope it isn’t. Thank you very much for your response
