Hello doctor

Since Tuesday night I am having these weird symptoms in the left side lower lip. Yesterday night after my usual routine of salt water gargling and sebamed lip balm my lip started having this hot flushes like. Then I noticed this rash like redness in either side did the corner of the lips. So I applied hydrocortisone cream for three hours and then I wiped it off this early morning . But immediately after that there was this small red rash in the left side vermillion border. Why is this happening
1) the pics that I have attached comes in order of since the hot flushes, then I appl Ed hydrocortisone cream, then after wiping and now.
2) I am so scared of herpes doctor . How many days should I watch out for. I am so stressed out but I cannot help myself from panicking.
3) also the inner corner of the left side slower lips feels very dry and when applying lip balm since w shave to rub against the skin it hurts.
4) what is this red line across the left side lower lip middle

Brief Answer:
No need to watch further as no more risk of herpes

Detailed Answer:
No need to watch further as you have already crossed the incubation period of herpes.
The pain you are having at the inner corner of the lip is due to dryness over that area.
Continue with sebamed lip balm every 2-3 hours for at least 2-3 weeks.
I can’t appreciate any red line on the middle of the lower lip.

Hello doctor
The area that I am mentioning to you feels more like a cut or some dry wrinkly place and when you strtch that place it feels weird . I am attaching pics where you could see the line . Also can you please check the corner vermillion border of ten left side lower lip . Because when again I stretch that side for smiling or for taking photo the skin just below the border almost on the border burns and this place when hydrocortisone cream is applied also hurts . I will attach a photo of yesterday night in which you could see a red rash like line that case after hydrocortisone cream was applied and removed , then the redness faded . I am scared and confused why all this problem .

Brief Answer:
These are superficial erosions caused by peeling of skin due to dryness

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have reviewed the attached photographs and can appreciate the red line.
This redness and line seems to be a superficial erosion due to peeling of skin over the affected area due to dryness.
If you are not getting benefit from application of hydrocortisone I would recommend you to apply a potent topical steroid like mometasone cream on the affected area twice daily for 5-7 days.
Potent topical steroids are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get it.
But your symptoms are not related to herpes.
Theu are associated with lip dryness and sensitivity.
