Can Bumps On Lips Indicate Herpes?

A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ME AND THIS GUY I MET WERE KISSING. I DID NOT THINK ANY THING OF IT BECAUSE IT WAS JUST KISSING IT WAS LIKE SECOND BASE OR ANYTHING. AND THEN SOON AFTER THIS INDECENT, I FELT MY MOUTH FEELING WEIRD. I GOT SICK MY LOWER BACK WAS HURTING AND I NOTICED TWO TINY BUMPS BY MY LIP. I WAS LITTLE CONCERNED BECAUSE I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THOSE SAME BUMPS FOR HERPES. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT I HAD A UTI. I FELT LIKE OK THAT IS WHY I WAS FEELING SO SICK. BUT THEN THE SAME SYMPTOMS CAME AROUND AGAIN. THE SAME BUMPS AND EVERYTHING. BUT THERE ONLY BUMPS LIKE PIMPLES AND MY FACE ITCHES ALOT. AND I SAW AN ULCER IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT, AND I HAVE LIKE PATCHES ON THE INSIDE OF MY CHEEKS I HAVE NOT GOTTEN TESTED YET. MY MOM THINKS IM CRAZY. DO YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A GOOD IMMUNE SYSTEM THAT THAT WHY IM GETTING COLD SORES OR BLISTERS? I MEAN THESE BUMPS AND PATCHES DO NOT HURT.
