This : This could be any number of things. Most likely not a cyst, but an abscess which could be coming from your gum or a tooth. It needs to be examined by your dentist.

I started with a cold sore and now have many more all over my mouth. I also have red bumps on the back of my tongue and throat. My gums are inflamed and bleed when I brush my teeth, and seem to be cut up. Is that a side effect of herpes too?
