Peeps is right. Cold sores are a form of Herpes.
If you are on the giving end of oral sex and you have a cold sore, you can give the receiver genital herpes, which is far worse.
Talk to your boyfriend. See a doctor. Get him checked for Herpes.

Don't worry the same thing happened for me, it takes about two weeks to heal (make sure you use orajel or some sort of cold sore medication) Also after taking sex education, STDs don't show up for another six weeks after the sexual activity that happened. Everyone gets coldsores it's nothing unusual even though it is considered "a form of herpes", but even babies get cold sores. So like I said, just use some orajel and don't pick at it, or else it will scar, and you will be in good shape. :)

I found this from Google- "Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores."
Like Peeps said below me cold sores are a form of herpes oral herpes are the most common infections.
I would see a doctor, Or tell your boyfriend to get checked out...

First of all, I am shocked that some Advicenators don't understand that ALL coldosores ARE herpes. Yes, ANY time you have a coldsore then you are experiencing a herpes outbreak. I am so sad to see people still spreading lies about this disease around. Your coldsore IS herpes, believe me, there is absolutely no doubt about it.
People like the columnists below is probably why we have a 80% herpes infected population in the United States alone. Seriously, people in denial of serious disease should really not answer questions like this. Spreading false information does nothing good.
Herpes goes by various names now. They are referred to as coldsores, fever blisters, and in some cases even canker sores. Typically, oral herpes is the HSV-1 strain, while genital herpes is typically the HSV-2 strain. Yes, you can get the genital herpes strain on your mouth and vice versa. It can be a little confusing but just know that there are TWO different strains of herpes that can infect any area of the body. That makes it a lot simpler.
When a person contracts HSV-1 or HSV-2, the virus actually lives in the body for the rest of the person's life. There is absolutely no cure. The virus can go dormant sometimes, meaning you can go YEARS without an outbreak!
Because the virus sleeps sometimes, it is unknown when you will have an outbreak. Sometimes people have a few symptoms of an outbreak (the area can be sore, itchy, tingly, etc.) and sometimes people have no idea that they are about to experience an outbreak. It's just a mystery for most, really, as it IS a disease and is unpredictable to some extent.
Outbreak or not,our bodies are constantly shedding skin cells all over--including lips and genitalia. Sometimes the virus will be shed out of these areas (HSV-1 usually from the lips, HSV-2 usually from the genitals). This being said, you never know when the body is shedding some of the infected cells. Nobody can tell when they are shedding the skin cells because it is so natural your body does not react to it. There will be no "signs" to shedding the cells, you see.
This being said, you could have had herpes for a very long time and not known it. You could also have shed these infected cell onto your partner's genitals if you were infected prior to the encounter.
When the skin cells are being shed, this is when the virus is most contagious. It is true that they are shed a lot more during an outbreak (which is why it's VERY important to never engage in sexual activity during this time). In short, you are always shedding a virus that is highly contagious--sometimes more than others.
For informational purposes, people usually experience herpes outbreaks when their immune system has been lowered. Immune systems lower over various things like from having upset stomach, being under a lot of stress, or even not sleeping well one night. There is no way to "know" why you have suddenly had an outbreak if you have gone a long time without having one before. It's simply just what happens when you are infected.
This is why it is very important to inform sexual partners of any kind about your condition so that they are aware of the possible consequences. There is no guarantee that you will pass it on just as there is no guarantee that you won't pass it along.
Condoms can lessen risks of infecting someone but are not considered a preventative. Also, you can spread oral herpes onto other areas of your body so it's very important that you wash your hands before and after touching the sore (which you should do as little as possible anyway). Make sure you inform your partner about your disease so he takes special precautions and can be prepared for the worst if he had previously not been infected..
The first outbreak usually occurs in or around the [infected or exposed] area between 3 days and 2 weeks after exposure to the virus. To be certain if you have infected your partner (or, simply, if your partner has already been infected, thought you won't be able to tell how long the virus has been living in the body) will need to make a doctor's appointment for an STD test, probably having to specify to test for herpes strains. They will need to take blood to test to see if the virus had infected cells.
Do not kiss your boyfriend now. Do not perform any more oral sex on him. You are very contagious right now--and for at least the next 3 weeks. You see, you are highly contagious about 2 to 3 weeks before you actually have an actual outbreak and then 2 to 3 weeks after the outbreak has cleared away. See, you could have very well had this long before performing oral sex on your partner. You could have actually given him the virus, especially if you have EVER experienced a coldsore.
So, yes, you have herpes. No, there is no way to tell if you contracted it from your partner or not unless you know you have experienced these sorts of sores previously. You need to inform your partner immediately (yes, he can sue you for bodily damages if you infect him without informing him). You should take care of yourself and try to avoid kissing, sharing drinks, sharing eating utensils, and performing oral sex for the next few weeks to lessen the risks of spreading it. Even if your partner has it (and has had it) you can spread it all over him and yourself. Next time you given oral sex you should also use a condom to lessen risks--not PREVENT them, just lessen them.
Any other questions you have, PLEASE feel free to ask me! I am fairly well educated about herpes, including some treatments for it (no, it's not curable yet). I want people to be as educated as they possibly can be about this because it's serious business. SO, please feel free to see a question to my inbox if you have any you want me to answer.
Lastly, I have TONS of information in other questions I've answered. If you need the links to any of them, please feel free to ask. I've covered just about EVERYTHING before--including ocular herpes, believe it or not. I wish you well in healing from this outbreak and coping with this life-long illness.
P.S. I'm not sure if I would call your boyfriend a virgin. I would probably say, "He hasn't had penis-in-vagina (aka PiV) sex though," or even, "He hasn't had penetration yet," but not actually claiming he is a virgin. Receiving oral SEX is still having some form of sex. To me, he is just fairly inexperienced, but not a virgin by any means.
I mean, if he had to go to the doctor and they asked him about being sexually active he would have to say yes and tell them how many partners he's had--even if it was JUST oral sex. STDs and STIs can be spread through ANY type of sexual contact.

It could just be a regular cold sore, which are really common. But if I were you, I'd still go to a doctor & have them check it out, just in case.

i dont think its anythingthing bad..most likely he hasnt shoered in like 2 days and thats why. or you could have gotten it from not washing your hands after you touched something yuukiii.:)

No your perfectly fine. If its jsut a cold sore it could be from drinking out of people drinks using people lipgloss or even kissing your boyfriend. Im 99% positive you donnt got herpes or any kind of disease. Just telling you dont kiss your boyfriend or drink from anyone til it goes away because youll give other people coldsores.and they fucking suuck ahha.
hope this heelped!
