Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have gone through your query and reviewed the image.

I would suggest you get done a blood test for HSV type 1 - HSV ELISA to confirm this possibility.
Have you had it before? or is it the first time?
Herpes labialis usually presents as recurring sores at the same site in or around the oral cavity/ lips.
