Ok im 14 years old and lately i have been having really itchy lips in my sleep. This morning I woke up with bumps all over my lips and my lips are messed up lookin. My brother said its cold sore so I looked it up on wikipedia and it said that its HSV or sumtin and is passed through kissing and oral sex. I havent done any of that.
Please can someone tell me what I really have?

First of all I am sorry to learn that you are still a virgin despite all the nice chicks around you. Secondly your symptoms are suggestive of an allergic phenomena rather than cold sores on lips. Allergic swelling of the lips can be in response to certain allergens e.g sea food , poultry , asprin , blood pressure medicines , contact with certain chemicals and materials(tooth paste , latex , metal ) and it can be heriditary . It can come and go , it can be itchy and can look like bumbs or hives as well . Angioedema and urticaria co-exist many times. If you suffer from allergies all the time this is a more likely diagnosis. Cold sores are either solitary or in groups , painful , oozinng , crusty , see the pic bellow :

Try using over the counter antihistamines like Claritin and try to avoid any etiological factors as mentioned above .
If no improvement see an MD .

I had herpes type 2 about six years back, when I was in college and had a spupid one-night stand. I think a lot of women will say this but believe me I never did that sort of thing. I just made a mistake that one time and, suddenly, it looked like I was going to have to live with the problem for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I would never meet men again. After all, who wants to date a person who has sores around her you-know-what? But after someone share this video https://tr.im/HFBWn everything has changed. Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than fifteen days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so happy to say that just last week, in fornt of many people in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.

Sounds as though you have a cold sore starting. There are several things that can cause them such as a viral infection, fevers, upset stomach and stress. That is just a few things that can cause a cold sore, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Get you some across the counter meds for cold sores, it takes them a while to heal and they can be very painful.
Good Luck and don't worry !!!

It could be cold sores (herpes of the mouth) and you don't necessarily get it from sex. Kissing yes. if they are blistered as well as itchy ...its almost def. cold sores. However it could be the sign of an infection or allergic reaction. If it doesn't start to feel better in the next day or two...go See your Doctor.

It could be an acne akin disorder which will clear up if it's not herpes.
Look up "cheilitis" and see if the symptoms are similar. But I still think you should see a doctor who will take a culture and verify it is not herpes and maybe it is eczema and tell you what you are allergic to that is causing this sensitivity.
Good Health!

Have you shared a drink or food or chapstick...pretty much anything that may have touched someone elses lips? If so that could be the cause. Cold sores and herpes are very easily spread, if thats what it is.

It sounds like herpes to me. You may have been born with it? I've kissed a guy who's had herpes but I haven't gotten them (even though my immune system is always down). That was unrelated, sorry. And that's STD, not HSV. Haha. Well I'm sorry you have that. Maybe it'll pass.
