That is so devastating. Well i don't know for sure, but itcould be. Just to be safe, you should always see a doctor if anything pops up because you really dont want to take any chances!

It could just be dry skin, or a developing cold sore. But if it starts to get worse, get tested. Don't worry.

It sounds as though it could be a developing cold sore, but do not panic just yet, as it could equally be just dry skin. Keep an eye on it, see how it develops, and if it becomes red or an open sore, definitely arrange another visit to your sexual health clinic for additional testing. I know it's frigtening being in the middle of this, but don't assume the worst, as though the herpes virus is extremely infectious when there are open sores, it's very rarely passed on whilst the infection is in a dormant phase, i.e. when there aren't any visible sores. I would avoid any sexual contact, including kissing, for the meanwhile until you are sure what it is, but do try not to worry excessively about it - if it is just an ordinary skin complaint, stress and worry could easily make it worse.
You've done everything you can, testing-wise. This is extremely mature and responsible of you in what must be an extremely difficult time. Unfortunately, all you can do now is wait for things to develop and results to come through. This is extremely nervewracking, but be reassured that you've done all that you can, and just keep an eye on things that may be symptoms and return to the clinic if things develop further. All the best.

well, i think you should keep an eye on your lips, try some blistex in case thier just chapped an dry.if they do turn into cold sores get tested immeidiately. i dont know if you have or not but if not i think you should really get the police involved. i know you might not want to, but if you dont it could and probably will happen to someone else, if not you. (in case you know him) i also hope youve found someone (counselor type) to talk to, to help deal with the emotional issues involved. im so very sorry you had to go thru this. please dont be ashamed of it, or afraid to tell. just remember its not your fault.if you need to talk call the national
sexual assault hotline at 1-800-656-hope(4673) its
a free call completely confidential, and open 24/7.

i would go to planned parenthood and get tested. i would go there because eveyrything you say to them is confidenatual and they wotn tell your parents ntohing. hope this helps.

A cold sore will most likely be in the corners of your mouth, or on the inside of your mouth somewhere.
Keep an eye on it of course because I can't see you, but it sounds as if you have cracked dry lips, probably from the cold weather (which is common).
I am sure your mom would have said something if she thought it was a cold sore. :)
*******EDIT******
You may want to add that your mom doesn't know what happened for those whos answers follow. :)
