Dealing with Herpes?
in Health ·
Hey everyone, my upper lip has been pretty swollen for the last five days. I went to see a doctor yesterday and got some allergy pills, though honestly, I wasn't expecting much change. Over the last ten days, I noticed this tiny bit of redness right where my lip meets my skin—barely anything, but you know me, I spend way too much time staring in the mirror! This morning, it looks a little redder than before. It’s not intense, but there's definitely a difference. Is the redness related to the swelling? The redness is on the edge, but the swelling feels more "inside" the lip; nothing is visible there, just that the lip itself looks about 20% larger. Could this be herpes? I'm 20 years old and I've never had it once in my life...
