What Does Tiny, Red Dot On Lip Indicate?
Hi! I have a tiny red dot on my lip that is tender (somewhat) and that looks like a whitehead but when I tried to pop it it just acted as though it was just skin. I have vaginal herpes but have never had a sign of anything oral. Also, there are teeny tiny white dots around the bigger red one. Please help!

Thank you for query. It is more likely to be herpes as you are already infected .self inoculation can occur in herpes. Take oral anticyclovir 200 mg 5 times day when active lesions are present after consulting your doctor. Also can take suppressive therapy. You can get back for any clarification.
