What are small clusters of bumps under your lower lips Hurts to touch and red behind it Haven't had any form of oral sex in over 2 months?
If the blisters are not just regular cold sores, then they could be the symptoms of herpes simplex virus, type 2. If this is the case then symptoms would also include fatigue, fever, and aches and pains. You don't necessarily need to have oral sex to contract the herpes virus. You contract it by touching infected saliva, mucous, or from infected skin. People infected with herpes however, don't show symptoms for about 2 to 12 days of contracting the virus, the average being about 4 days. The blisters could be caused by many things; they could be some other kind of viral infection, canker sores, or some other kind of STD. If the symptoms don't match with herpes, and you are completely sure you did not cause the bumps yourself, perhaps by biting your lip or burned it with a hot drink, I recommend you get them checked out by a doctor as soon as you can.
