herpes questions
Hi I'm a guy and recently I had sex with two different partners. With the first girl, we used condoms and I got blowjob and sex afterwards. However, with the second girl, being drunk, we both gave oral without condoms and used condoms after for sex. From the looks of it, she gets around pretty often. And it's been about five days since I had sex with her and I have a very small red bump about quarter of an inch below my lower lip. I'm still pretty young so sometimes i get pimples, but this seem to be bit different looking than pimples. Could this be herpes? If so, which type of herpes could this be? What kind of things should i avoid doing for awhile? And would there ever be cure for herpes?

Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
I personally know someone who had a herpes outbreak 3 days after being infected.
In doing a little research for you, I have found a typical early range of 3 days to 2 weeks.
Here is another thing you need to know: The various tests for herpes are just about useless for at least a month after infection. Some are pointless before 4 months have gone by.
You can read a little about that over here:

... And here is your wake-up call on something else:
Condoms do NOT fully prevent the spread of herpes or HPV (genital warts, cancer) so condom or not, you might have gotten it from the first girl and given it to the next one. :-(
If this isn't an STD... it should at least be a wake up call that your current choices are endangering your life.
I wish you the very best outcome.

No, five days later it is not herpes.

It very well could be herpes however, the virus is exactly the same as te cold sore virus. There are no cures but you can get herpes medication that will keep you from getting outbreaks. The best thing to do is avoid contact using your mouth during an outbreak and also avoid touching the bump and then touching other parts of your body without first thouroughly washing your hands. Don't worry too much about it because stress actually can cause more frequent outbreaks. You should be fine though. Try going to your local drug store and get something called herpecin lip balm. It should stop the itching, iritation and speed up the healing process.

yeah, I've had this scare before, damn zits... wait a few more days, and if its still looking wierd, get it checked out. you should probably avoid doing anything involving another person until this whatever it is gets resolved. and as for a cure- there isn't one. valtrex and shit like that will keep it under control, but you're stuck with it for life and its still contagious.
