I have a slight burning sensation in the left part of my upper lip. i'm afraid it might be herpes, but i have never given oral sex. what could it be?

Cold sore?: It could be start of a cold sore. You do not need to have oral sex to develop cold sore. Many people are already infected with the cold sores virus and does not show any sores on the lips. It appears suddenly when they are under some sort of stress.
