Its not herpes.. so what is it?
I was scared to death i had herpes.
I had all the symptoms.
Itching face,at times tingling, burning lips.
& these little not too noticeable lip colored flat circles on my lips & a white mark.
But my test came back negative :)
So what's wrong with me? A doc said it could be from the weather. & the circles could be a cold sore. But how could I have a cold sore without herpes? Could someone explain that it have an idea what it could be. Also how can I get rid of these little circles? & tingling? Abreeva doesn't work when I thought I had it.

There are two types of Herpes; Herpes simplex1 and 2. Most all of us have the Herpes one virus which produce the cold sores. You should reframe from giving oral sex when having and outbreak of cold sores as this can lead to genital Herpes or heroes 2 virus.
There are many reasons as to why you broke out with cold sores as there called. You could have kissed someone who had a cold sore. Possibly had some hand contact with someone who had the simplex1 virus then touched your lips and I'm told it is even possible to pick the virus up of a counter surface which if true means you could have picked it up at school off a deck or table.
Your doctor told you that you did not have herpes because they were looking for the simplex2 virus which of course you didn't have.
Cols sores are little Blisters and there is medication that can be purchased across the counter. go to the drug store and speak with the pharmacist, He or she can direct you to one of the several products available. The best ones, the ones that will dry up the blister the quickest, now don't freak, are the ones originally developed to help HIV/Aids patients with their blisters. Just because it was developed for one illness doesn't mean it cannot be used for a variety of other illnesses.
