Yes : Yes unfortunately you could be dealing with another outbreak, however uncommon in people less than 60 years of age. Regardless please call/visit your doctor. You may need IV Acyclovir or a strong steroid to reduce your pain and swelling if deemed necessary. Stress or weakened immune system can be a factor in recurrence. Please make sure you follow up with your doctor. Good luck.
