Question: What do these bumps on my lips mean.? (Not Herpes).?
I got a couple of bumps along the edge of my top lip.They don't itch or irritate me or nothing, they're just there. I've had them for years now but I never really got concerned about them until now b/c they gettin more noticeable. I know they cant be herpes b/c i dont share drinks, lip gloss, etc. I haven't had my firs kiss yet(I'm 14 years old) and I dont DONT SUCK ~~~~, so i'm wondering why i have them. I dont want people to start accusing me of that above thing. What are they and how can I make them go away.?.?.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
If you've had them for years, they are more than likely a genetic anomoly and the only way to have them gone is to have them removed/frozen. Certainly do no try to scrape them off and do not pick at them or even fiddle with them, as this will only cause them to become larger and therefore more noticeable.

I hate to tell you this, but there is a really really high chance that it is Herpes. Specifically Herpes Simplex Virus type 1. Or oral herpes. It starts at an early age you don't have to share drinks or food or kiss anyone to get it. It is highly contagious and any kind of direct contact can transfer it. It's nothing to be ashamed of either since probably 90% of the population has Herpes Simplex 1. And honestly the only thing it causes is annoying cold sores except in rare occaisions. If you have recurring cold sores. In about 99% of the cases it's safe to say it's herpes. Herpes is a latent virus meaning after the cold sore goes away its inactive and if you get stressed or your immune system is weak it will reemerge. Honestly, don't lose sleep over it, it's no big deal.Health Question & Answer
