herpes
okay so i know herpes is very obvious when you get it.. but not around your mouth. other than the dumb red pimple looking things on your lips, are there any other symptoms.. i.e: swollen/hurting throat, change in voice, etc..
[bc right now im still convinced its just a pimple that got too close to my lip!]

"Oral Herpes Symptoms
Incubation period: For oral herpes, the amount of time between contact with the virus and the appearance of symptoms, the incubation period, is 2-12 days. Most people average about 4 days.
Duration of illness: Signs and symptoms will last 2-3 weeks. Fever, tiredness, muscle aches, and irritability may occur.
Pain, burning, tingling, or itching occurs at the infection site before the sores appear. Then clusters of blisters erupt. These blisters break down rapidly and, when seen, appear as tiny, shallow, gray ulcers on a red base. A few days later, they become crusted or scabbed and appear drier and more yellow
Oral sores: The most intense pain caused by these sores occurs at the onset and make eating and drinking difficult.
The sores may occur on the lips, the gums, the front of the tongue, the inside of the cheeks, the throat, and the roof of the mouth.
They may also extend down the chin and neck.
The gums may become mildly swollen and red and may bleed.
Neck lymph nodes often swell and become painful.
In people in their teens and 20s, herpes may cause a painful throat with shallow ulcers and a grayish coating on the tonsils."
