Is Herpes Related With, Bumps On Mouth Corner?
I have a bump on my upper lip by the corner of my mouth. I researched a bit and it says it could be a cold sore. Something to do with herpes? But I m in my teen years and I haven t even kissed anyone yet or had sexual contact with anyone. It was red then it got kinda white and I messed with it and clear stuff came out. Is it like a pimple or something?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Herpes is one of the causes of mouth sores. This is caused by herpes simplex type1 and it is transmitted by contact and not necessarily by sexual contact.
Moreover, herpes simplex ulcers occur as blisters which are grouped and filled with fluid. These blisters heal without scarring.
I do not suspect herpes in your case based on the description given in your query.
It could be acne.
Thanks
