Red, Small Pimples Below Lip And At Corner Of Mouth, Hurts When Touched, Itching, White Film Around It. Want To Know If It Is Herpes
Question: For the past couple days I've I got 2 would looks like 2 red very small pimples one below my lip and the other at the corner of my mouth. They only hurt when I mess with them but other than that they don't hurt. My face itches all over from my allergies. But they itch a little not really. They didn't pop or anything I kinda scratched them off but for like the past couple morning when I wake up I have a little white crust or white film around them. I just really need to know if I have herpes. I also took a picture. I have been with the same sex partner for the last couple months now
