Avatar f tn Hi! I had really, really dried lips and I tried putting so much stuff on them to get them moist and finally I was able to but then there was dead skin on my lips that I picked off and kept licking it. After I doing that, I got a bump on my bottom lip on Monday and it went into an open sore...I don't remember it oozing and by Thursday it started to scab. Does this sound like a cold sore? I do get cold sores but always in the same place (the corner of my lip).

Avatar m tn I read an article about sun uv light triggering it and decided to get lip balm w/an spf of 45 (hawaiian tropic) I put that on my lips at least 30 min before i leave the house to get absorbed in and might reapply a few times a day. I now only get cold sores maybe once every 5-6 yrs. Also, if my lip itches, I never scratch it b/c that also triggers a cold sore (trauma to the lip) hope that helps.
Avatar m tn I am not sure if these are cold sores under the surface of my lip swelling, canker sores that are also on my lip, or something else!
Avatar f tn Best to avoid contact with a lesion if for no other reason that prolonging the healing process. Otherwise, no, her outbreaks or shedding will not induce an outbreak. Note though that couples can get cold sores at similar times owing to similarities in stress levels, diet, sun exposure etc.
732948 tn?1245894551 I went for a walk on the beach and forgot to bring lip balm. I told myself that a few minutes of sun exposure shouldn’t hurt. But less than 1 week later I had EM blisters on my hands, feet, elbows, and face. Then in March 2011 I visited a park and forgot to carry the Blistex with me. I thought that any UV exposure would be minimal, since it was like 6pm. But a few days later I suffered another episode of Erythema Multiforme.
Avatar m tn I have this small bump on my lower lip, however I tested negative for oral herpes. It doesn't look like a blister AT ALL, there's no pain (well except if I bite it). No burning, tingling, itching nothing! It's ON the lip and its the SAME Color as my lip, I don't see any redness around it. I was fishing at the beach from 12-10 yesterday could it be from the sun? Could it be that I bite my lips often?
Avatar m tn Hi, if she did not have any lip sores at the time your risk for oral herpes is close to zero from a one time affair. Saliva is not a good method of std trasferance as contains enzimes that kill things.
Avatar n tn I have had a red bump above my lip for the last two weeks. At first I thought it was a zit, then I thought it was a cold sore and treated it with Abreva. After 4 or 5 days treating it, nothing happened. Now it looks like a cold sore may have been there (it's a little whitish and indented in the middle) but I don't think it ever came to a head. Is this just the memory of a cold sore and a resulting scar or something I should have checked out?
Avatar m tn After we have really hot weather or really cold weather a nice sunshiny day will occur and I will get sores on my lips that spread to two or three spots and they hurt like nobodys business or these coldsores or feverblisters caused by the sun bringing out a virus in my system?
Avatar n tn Some causes of the symptoms you mention, could be lip biting, lip licking, Vit.B2 deficiency, smoking, overexposure to sun and ill fitting dentures. In extreme cases, this could be due to bacterial or fungal skin infection. You need to drink plenty of water daily – around 1.5 – 3 litres per day and eat a balanced diet. Do not keep your lips dry; apply lip balm which contains sunscreen – preferably a medicated one.
Avatar m tn and no leison, sores, etc. Could the area around my lip mean I got infected?

Avatar n tn To completely prevent recurring Erythema Multiforme, apply a high SPF lip balm (Blistex 5-star protection or similar) anytime you have sun exposure. Apply even if you are only going to be in the sun for 30 seconds. During an EM outbreak, use Petroleum Jelly on blisters and in places susceptible to blistering. My Story: I was first diagnosed with EM-minor in 2004 (age 24). The doctor prescribed Valtrex 500mg/day. His position was that the cold sores were bringing about the EM.
Avatar f tn Indeed from time to time, sometimes for reasons we can identify (stress, medications, sun exposure, etc) cold sores can be worse than others. 2. Lupus. One of the classical manifestation of lupus is facial rash. Could t his be part of the problems 3. Psoriasis. Psoriasis lesions can look very much like cold sores. They are uncommon on the face but do occur there.
Avatar m tn Yes, cold sores ARE caused by HSV 1. Sun is a known trigger for cold sores, the only one trigger actually proven to be a defined trigger for outbreaks. It is unusual however, for a cold sore to leave a scar. The white dots you see have likely always been there but you are looking far more closely than you have in the past. Ask someone you know if you can look at the inside of their upper lip and when you roll up the lip, you will see white dots on the inner upper lip surface.
Avatar f tn Around July of last year, I was with my boyfriend and other people at the shore and I got severely sunburned. as a result I ended up getting a blister on my lip. I assumed immediately it was a blister from the sun and it healed within a week or two but left a slightly reddish scar. About 3 days ago i noticed that i was getting red in the lips in the exact place i had the blister last year. and now there is a bump and small amounts of clear fluid in them.
Avatar m tn I took a urine & blood test and the doctor said I tested positive for HSV 1 in my blood; but, not HSV 2. My urine was fine. She told me that HSV 1 affects the oral area, while HSV 2 affects your genital area. She said the test indicated that I had a "recent exposure" to it - 3 months recent. Well, I'm 26 years old and I've had sores on my lip as far back as high school ( I was not sexually active in high school). My most recent sore was in the summer of 2009.
Avatar m tn I just wanted to know if it was possible for HSV-1 to react without the typical cold sore symptoms and just cause cuts on my lip. The cuts usually heal in a day or two and are some times red. I am also in the sun working most of the day so could this be the cause.
Avatar n tn I have been watching my lip eczema problem that showed up recently and mine is related to using a new lip balm that was SPF-rated (I usually avoid SPF balms- this balm was supposed to be a natural anti-viral to help prevent cold sores) - It appears that my lips react to either benzophenone-3 or to Octyl-Methoxcinnamate.
Avatar n tn Hello, To treat this scarring from cold sores on lips,keep on applying the vit E cream.Also use lip balm medications containing zinc oxide and sun screen lip balms before going out in sun. If the symptoms persist then laser treatment can be used.Pls consult a dermatologist for that. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
Avatar m tn I have had cold sores off and on my entire life. 2 days ago one popped up in the corner of my mouth, no big deal. then another cluster and another and another. Half of my upper lip and now a cluster on my lower lip. I have not ever had such a large outbreak. I have had vaginal oral sex with 2 different partners over the past month most recently 15 days ago. I have also been spending a large amount of time in the sun and wind over the last 2-3 weeks.
Avatar m tn My face is a little pink too, minor sun burn. And I woke up today with localized swelling on the right side of my bottom lip. There are no visible sores, no white spots but just localized pain on the right side of bottom lip, ice reduced the swelling. Since I had a herpes scare a month ago (I had itching and one lesion on my vulva.... I'm REALLY freaking out and worried that this is oral herpes. Is this a sunburn or oral herpes.
