Is A Bump On The Upper Lip An Outbreak Of Herpes During Pregnancy?
I m a 26 year old female. I m 15 and a half weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with Herpes 1 and 2 recently. I don t think I ve had an outbreak although I have what I think are hemorrhoids since I ve been kind of constipated. Two days ago I got a bump on my upper lip. It s on the outside and goes from my upper lip onto my actual lip. It almost looks like a bug bite. It s numb and doesn t itch. I ve just been putting chap stick on it to keep it from drying out. Could it be an outbreak? Also, how can I tell if what I have are hemorrhoids or an outbreak?

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
A single bump on upper lip is not a classical symptom of either Herpes 1 or 2.
Still i would recommend that you visit a general physician at the earliest to rule out any infection. The bump is in what is known as "The dangerous area of face" .There is direct vascular link with this area and the blood vessels of brain. Any infection in this area of face can lead to meningitis.
Please do write back if you have any more queries
