Q I have noticed i get very small pimples near my lips. They range between 1-3 in numbers and are generally packed close. Sometimes they swell up and i pop em but they dont crust. But sometimes they just dissapper on their own. One time one swell up my upper lip twice its normal size. I had to drain it off pus. I get these every few months or weeks. I am 27 year old male, i ve never had any sexual contact with anyone in years. Do u still think this could be herpes ? Can i get herpes from barbers place ? What else do u think this could be ?
There are several reasons for pimples. It can be due to hormonal changes, stress, infection, change in diet, lack of sleep, pollution, dietary changes, etc. Do not pop them up, it will increase recurrence. Poor hygiene in Barbers place can also be a reason. Try to understand the cause first and work on it accordingly. Mean while you can: stop eating junk and fried food, stop alcohol and smoking, improve hygienic condition by taking extra care. If it is herpes it will be very much painful and little hard too.
