A member asked:

Tingling, slightly sore above upper lip. could it be herpes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly yes: What you describe can certainly be the signs of a pending herpes flare-up. You should see your doctor. Early recognition and treatment can reduce the severity and length of a flare-up.
