A member asked:
I dont have sex or even kiss a guy before but i stay with one of my friend who have herpes and after a few days i got one too at side of my mouth?

Not from your friend: It's unlikely you caught oral herpes from your friend, assuming no intimate contact like kissing. The first infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) usually is more severe than a single cold sore. If that's what you have, it's more likely you have had oral HSV all along (usually acquired in childhood) now having a recurrent outbreak. Or maybe not herpes -- see a doctor for accurate diagnosis.

Hi, I recently received oral sex about 3 days ago and i noticed a little bump on the labia. No itch or burn. I do use a razor so can it be a cut from that or more serious? Also, i kissed the person so if it was herpes wouldnt it be on my mouth too?
