Right now I'm really scared... So I hooked up with my friend on Friday, April 10th... I went down on him, and he didn't finish before I stopped.. I probably got a little pre-cum in my mouth if anything.
The next day or so.. I had a cold sore. It's April 14th now.. and its starting to heal... well almost all the way gone, but I also have soars on the top of my lips that I just noticed today.
Just two tiny little bumps though, and I have REALLY clear skin.. I never break out, I don't think it could have been anything I've eaten, because anything I've eaten has been things I've always eaten.
Could it be herpes? I mean, he's only been with one partner.. I'm not sure how many people she's been with though...
This was the second time we hooked up. The first time was about a month and a half ago, and we did the same things, just foreplay.. I went down on him, but he didn't finish before I stopped... And nothing ever happened after then, no break outs or anything... I don't know if I got any pre-cum in my mouth, I'm assuming some... but I really don't know..
Could this me herpes? I'm really scared.
Or is this just a coincidence...?
Please help.
Also, where can I get this checked out.. at a regular doctor's office?

Yes, you can find out by visiting your primary care physician.
If you've never had these types of sores before, then it is possible that you have been infected. The only way to find out for sure is to see a physician.
In many cases, shortly after being infected, you would experience your first outbreak. Generally, the first outbreak is severe, as your immune system has never fought off the virus before. Since you only have a few sores, it may just be coincidence.
In either case, you do not have to be scared. If you do in fact have oral Herpes, or Herpes Type 1, you will experience outbreaks from time to time but this virus is not life-threatening. It's more of a nuisance, as the sores may hurt a bit. As for social implications, a large percentage of the population have the virus, though some may not recognize their symptoms as Herpes.
Eventually, the outbreaks will become less frequent or may not occur at all. You may feel a tingling sensation in areas where you've had sores but your immune system may suppress it before visible symptoms occur.
There is medication that you can take that will shorten the length of outbreaks. However, this medication may lose effectiveness and may even cause the outbreaks to occur more frequently. You may wish to use it for a time, especially if the initial outbreaks are severe and painful and then eventually stop use of the medication.
Certain foods may trigger an outbreak, such as tomatoes and acidic drinks such as orange juice. Stress is another possible trigger.
I suggest you speak with a doctor, as the information I've given you may not be 100% correct. I have Type 1 and so my answer is based on personal experience only.
I began experiencing symptoms my junior year of high school. I had not yet had any romantic relationships so I was befuddled when I was told I had Herpes. I learned that it was possible that it could have come from anywhere really - using a poorly washed utensil while at a restaurant or wiping my face with a towel that had the virus.
At first, my outbreaks were massive and painful. I was prescribed medication and the first time I used it, everything just went away like magic. Later on, it stopped working so well and outbreaks became more frequent. However, by the time I graduated high school, things settled down and I hardly noticed it any more. Sometimes, I could feel the beginnings of an outbreak but I never again had a full-blown outbreak.
I recommend speaking with a doctor to find out for sure. Hopefully, it's just coincidence that you have these sores and you're not infected. If you are, it's not the end of the world.

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.
if you have little clear bubble things on the inside of your lips then dont worry about it just pop them because i have braces and i get little clear bubbles is wat i call them and all i do is pop them, but i dont know what your blisters look like so i couldnt tell you exactly but I think that you should get it checked and yea you just go to your regular doctor and have them check you out and they will tell you exactly. good luck i hope i helped.
