I'm scared that it is Herpes. Does herpes look different from the common face acne?

I'll bet you're a smoker. Smokers are more prone to getting acne around the mouth. When I smoked I would get acne on my chin a lot. Using Oxy pads will help greatly.
A cold sore is an outbreak of the herpes simplex virus (HSV1). It is estimated that over 90% of Americans carry the virus, but only about 30% of those have cold sore outbreaks.
Cold sore treatment options vary widely. There is prescription medication, over-the-counter medication, and home remedies for cold sores - many of which work remarkably well.
Here are some links to a site that helped me with my own cold sore problems. Since I used some of the methods outlined here, I haven't had a problem.
This is a link to the “Ultimate Cold Sore Treatments Guide” that outlines a bunch of cold sore remedies that work, both medicinal and home treatments:

This link is an entire glossary listing all of the best cold sore treatments compiled on to one web page:

Finally, this link is to the one medication that is proven to heal cold sores faster than anything else on the market:

That site is updated pretty regularly. Hope this helps!

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about 4 years ago, whilst I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I know a lot of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/UWAsD everything changed.
Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the hsv from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This program provided the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

first of all you can get herpes on and in your mouth its called a cold sore. thats a first degree herpe. that doesnt mean im saying you have herpes. also if you wear lipgloss or lipstick all the time, the applicator becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and you will get little pimples and black heads on your lip line. so is it bumps or do they look like cold sores? keep the tips of your applicators clean and try not to touch your mouth a lot.

It could be herpes, you can get herpes from kissing someone else with herpes...ORAL HERPES. For the people that say it's only from oral sex or you can't get herpes around your mouth, you're wrong. Then again, it could be that after you eat something (greasy maybe) that you don't get all of it wiped off around your lips.

Some people are very sensitive to the flouride in toothpastes. If you use one with flouride, be sure to wash and rinse well around the mouth after you brush.

Herpes wouldn't develop into a white head. What do yours do?
