hi after doing research come up with this. you may notice a tingling or burning sensation on your lips or face several days prior to the emergence of a cold sore. once the sore erupts you will see a red raised blister full of fluid which will usually be painful and tender to the touch. the sore will remain for two to three weeks and it is contagious until it crusts over. your first cold sore may not appear for up to 20 days following infection with the herpes simplex virus. in addition to one or several sores you may experience any of the following symptoms during an outbreak: fever muscle aches swollen lymph nodes touching your cold sore before touching your eyes can cause eye infections. you should seek immediate medical care if you develop an eye infection during a cold sore outbreak. this is because infections caused by herpes simplex can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. i think the best thing you can do now is get to an std/gum clinic you do need to have tests done but do this asap don't be afraid the staff really do know what there doing it would be your best way to go for the help you now need. i do hope this helps you. good luck
can a woman get an std from performing oral sex on a man? . a horrible drunken moment led to me (a woman) to giving oral sex on a man i barely know. the next day my lips felt burnt. within 24 hours little tiny bumps showed up and my lips began to peal like a sunburn. within 48 hours my upper lip is swollen painful and looks like i burned it in multiple places. the entire bottom half of my face feels irritated and a little tingly. . i know i was stupid but please help me calm my mind from this horrible mistake in judgment. thank you
