Is Bump / Blister On the Roof of My Mouth Herpes ? Posted: 10-05-07 15:51pm
Hello, I'm waiting for an appointment with
a doctor, but I'm hoping one of you may be
able to assuage my fear of herpes. 7
weeks ago, a period of time when I was
having unprotected oral sex with a
questionable partner, I began having a
sore throat, which lasted about 2 weeks.
5 weeks ago the roof of my mouth became
painful and swollen. After two days the
blister burst and some fluid came out.
After that, the blister was no longer
painful and shrank to about half the size.
It is now smooth and elongated, sort of
vein shaped, and is at most an inch long.
There is no discoloration, no pain and it
is not an open sore. Nonetheless, it's
still freaking me out. I plan to go to a
doctor, but I want to know if I should
avoid the new guy I'm dating so I don't
pass along my new fun ailment. Thoughts?
Comfort? Could this be herpes?

You are doing the correct thing by
planning to visit your doctor as only
he/she can give you an authoritative
answer.
However, before I jumped to the conclusion
of herpes I would be giving consideration
to other possibilities such as an
ulcerated throat and mouth which can cause
pain for an extended period of time.
