Hey everyone!

I have been getting these annoying lips blisters that seem to form on the
top lips mostly. They seem to be hidden like where the lips meet together
and if I lift up my top lip, they look like a cluster of one or multiple
tiny white blisters in a red outlined area. The area starts off with burning
and then some electrical like twinging sensations, and then I get the
blisters that feel sore and raw for a few days and then go away. What is
weird is that this has been going on since the spring when I met my
girlfriend who has oral herpes. I know she also gets them, so I am thinking
that this is oral herpes and I have that now? If these are really coldsores
(oral herpes) then how come they never form outside of the lips like the
typical coldsores? I always thought that coldsores were on the outside of
the lips and usually bordering the outer mouth area. I sometimes get pimple
like things on the outer mouth near the lips and they are at times sore or
tender, but I am not sure if these are the same or not. I just wanted to ask
you guys what your thoughts are on this from your experience without having
to go to get it cultured. These blisters have been recurring about once a
month or so since the spring.

Thanks,
Al
