Q: i have been developing symptoms of just pins and needles and irritation on my lips for 8 days on and off. it gets worst at night sometimes pins all over my body. could i have herpes? i kissed someone and i developed symptoms within a few hours?

: Those symptoms are abnormal but for sure they are not symptoms of herpes simplex infection. Furthermore, symptoms of herpes can't be manifested within hours of exposure. If those symptoms persist through this week, you should see a doctor for a thorough investigation.
