herpes?
im reallly scared that i have herpes. and i dont want to have to deal with putting coverup on my lips when ever i get a sign of it.
im scared of doctors. and my mom knows i get coldsores. but they always start out as white small round things before they.. "activate?" idk how to say it. but its like.. hard to explain.. i dont know.
what should i do? what would you do if you thought you had herpes? should i go to the doctors? my mom gives me round pills from the vitamin world store and she said they would help me.
i dont think this is herpres personally... idk! helllllp im so confused i keep questioning myself.

Okay...
Coldsores ARE herpes.
Always.
Every single time.
Whoever has told you that some coldsores are not herpes is just not knowledgeable on the subject. I, however, am fairly well informative about this sort of thing.
Your first step is to take a deep breath and relax. Really. This will all be okay.
Next, you need to go see your doctor. Seriously, you NEED to. They can do some swabs and a BLOOD TEST (request this to be done, actually) so tell you for sure which strain--if any--you have. Yes, you can get oral herpes on your genitals and genital herpes on your mouth. No kidding. That's why this is serious enough to merit a doctor's visit for a proper diagnosis.
The procedure isn't bad. They would probably swab your lip if it's currently experiencing an outbreak and they'd take a tube of your blood for testing.
No medication will make herpes go away--they will only make the symptoms lessen for a bit. I gave you the links before, PLEASE READ THEM ALL! I give very, very important information in each and every single one of those links. This is an important thing, please don't dismiss it like many people do.
If you've forgotten the link to your question before where I answered, then here it is:

What would I do? I would see the doctor for a proper diagnosis. If my outbreaks were severe and often then I'd ask the doctor what they recommended to take to reduce the severity of the outbreaks. Then I would re-read all of the links that the other Advicenator girl (me!), who know about this all too well, gave me before I asked THIS question.
Lastly, having herpes is NOT the end of the world. Trust me.
If you have any more questions--herpes related or not--please feel free to ask me! :)
