A member asked:
Do oral herpes always hurt? because i have some white - yellowish spots on my upper lip but they don't hurt at all.

Not Always: The usual prodrome that warns many people that herpes is about to erupt is a tingling or even numbness to the lip.

Herpes hurt?: Many people experience oral herpetic lesions that are not painful at all, so i would have to say no it does not always hurt.
