See below : I’m sorry to hear that, yes it can be linked to a viral infection like herpes virus and Yes, they are treatments to help. I’d try going to a dentist or oral surgeon for a check up. Don’t worry you’ll be fine.

Oral Pathologist: Repeated ulcers can be concerning. Consult an ORAL PTHOLOGIST/ORAL SURGEON. You need to rule out local as well as general causes. Lip Piercing is a bad idea. It can make you also susceptible to infections in that area.
