A member asked:
Bumps on upper lip and can't be herpes because my boyfriend nor anyone in my family has it, what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes is possible: More than 90% of people in the U.S. have been exposed to HSV1, and serologic blood test will be positive. If a person has pimple on the lips that's HSV1 it will usually be tender, somewhat raised and look like a small blister or group of blisters(vesicles). If the HSV1 blood test is negative a lesion on the lip may still be HSV1 as it can take 6 wks for test to be (+). 1st time HSV1 more severe.
