THE ANSWER IS YES: You need to see your doctor to look at the lesions. If it is not herpes a biopsy may be required, if not a recognized entity.

May not be herpes: While oral herpes can be part of the differential diagnosis it is more likely that is strep throat or candida. In any case se a dentist asap.
