Hello,
I think if you have had some trauma to the area, that is most likely not Herpes. Herpes usually looks like a little blister on a red base at first, then it can turn into an ulceration. There are two kinds of Herpes, Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is usually present around our mouths and is extremely common. It comes back when we are stressed or sick. This is not necessarily sexually transmitted. Type 2 Herpes is genital herpes and is sexually transmitted. If your sore does not improve on its own, you could see a doctor. Be sure to keep the area clean so it does not become infected.
