Answer 1

It's probably a canker sore which is NOT herpes and is NOT contagious.

Canker sores almost always appear on the INSIDE of the mouth. They are basically ulcers in the mouth and can appear on the tongue, cheeks, gums, inside the lip, etc. They are painful and can take weeks to heal. The exact cause of canker sores is unknown but they can be caused by several different things like food allergies, braces, stress, accidentally biting your cheek or tongue, and many other things. Canker sores are VERY common.

Cold sores (oral herpes) almost always appear on the OUTSIDE of the mouth. They can appear on the outside of the lips and on the outside corners of the mouth. Cold sores ARE a form of herpes and ARE contagious. They can be spread by kissing someone who has them, sharing drinks, lip stick, chap stick, etc.

If you are concerned it is herpes then see your doctor and get tested. Cold sores are VERY common. It's estimated about 75 - 80% of the WORLD has them. Good luck!

***Also, not everyone is born with herpes like Licoricekins said. In fact, being BORN with herpes is EXTREMELY rare. Only about 0.1% of babies born to mothers who have genital herpes actually end up being born with the virus. That's about 1 in 1000 births of mothers who have genital herpes. Although I have genital herpes I have NEVER had a cold sore. It's estimated, like I said before, about 75 - 80% of the world has cold sores, NOT EVERYONE.

If all you've done is kiss there is no chance it could be genital herpes in your mouth. It is probably a canker sore or you have bitten that area and irritated it. There are medicines like Anbesol for canker sores. Don't worry about it.

Answer 6

It is probably a cold sore - a form of herpes. People get cold sores all the time and they go away in a few days. Cold sores are not the same kind of herpes you get in other places and are nothing to worry about.

But they are contagious. So no oral sex or kissing until it is gone.

Just reread your question and the other answer - yes more likely a canker sore as it is inside and there is no blister. Even less to worry about as it is not contagious.

Incidence and Prevalence
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 20 million people in the United States are infected with HPV and about 5.5 million are exposed to the virus each year. Approximately 1% of sexually active adults in the United States have genital warts.

Infection is most common in people aged 15 to 40 and affects men and women equally. As many as 50-75% of sexually active people are infected with HPV during their lifetime, and in most cases, the infection causes no symptoms and resolves without treatment.

Approximately 90% of men infected with HIV also have HPV. Persistent HPV infection in women is the primary risk factor for cervical cancer.

Causes and Risk Factors

The human papillomavirus is transmitted through vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Many researchers believe that cultural norms for sexual behavior (more people having sex at a younger age and with multiple sex partners) have led to the increase in HPV infection. Because symptoms can be slow to appear and are usually painless, infected people can spread HPV unknowingly.

Those with a suppressed immune system are at higher risk for contracting infection that produces warts.

Signs and Symptoms

Anogenital warts usually appear 3 or 4 months after exposure, typically on the vulva, cervix, penis, scrotum, anus, or inside the vagina or rectum. Oral sex may lead to warts in the mouth and throat. Warts may be red, pink, whitish, or gray. They are usually soft, flat, and irregularly shaped and are usually painless unless irritated by contact. Itching and burning are common once warts become irritated. Discomfort may increase as the warts enlarge, become raised, multiply into cauliflower-shaped clusters, or ulcerate. Ulcerated warts may bleed, itch, and produce a discharge with an unpleasant odor. Warts that develop inside the vagina may cause painful intercourse.

Various health complications may develop, depending on where the warts are located. Symptoms range from localized discomfort and pain to bleeding and difficulty in urination, defecation (if they form in the urethra, penis, vagina, anus, or rectum), or swallowing (if they form in the mouth or throat). Infected pregnant women can pass infection to their infants.

High-risk HPV can take 5 to 30 years to progress to cancer.

Diagnosis

External warts are usually diagnosed visually. A procedure called colposcopy involves treating otherwise hard-to-see warts with vinegar (acetic acid), which causes them to whiten and stand out. This is particularly useful in women. A biopsy, in which a sample of the wart is removed for analysis, may be performed to detect cancer. Vaginal and anal Pap smears are commonly performed to check for cancerous cells in both men (anal) and women.

Treatment

There is no cure for HPV. In many cases, infection goes away on its own. Management involves removing warts and monitoring for the development of cancer cells. Removal may involve freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), burning (electrocautery), laser removal, or surgical removal (excision). Cryotherapy is typically used to remove cervical warts, while larger external warts are often surgically removed. Side effects include local irritation, ulceration, and, sometimes, scarring.

Interferon-∂, (alpha interferon, a drug derived from a chemical made in the body) is injected directly into warts (sometimes after the wart is burned with electrocauterization) to eliminate or significantly reduce them. Injections are usually given 3 times a week for a few weeks.

Creams and chemical gel treatments, such as podophyllin and trichloracetic acid (TCA), are applied weekly to external warts by a physician to destroy tissue. Self-applied, prescription treatments such as imiquimod (Aladra®) and podofilox (Condylox®) are typically used 2 or 3 times weekly for several weeks, but no more than 3 or 4 months. Local skin irritation is a common side effect. These treatments are not approved for internal warts.

Regardless of the treatment method, recurrence is common because the virus lies dormant in skin cells after the warts are removed. Removing warts may reduce the risk for HPV transmission, but there is no evidence for this.

Prevention

Routine Pap smears are recommended for women and for men who have sex with men (anal Pap smear) to ensure early detection and effective treatment. Barrier contraception (e.g., condom, diaphragm) is recommended to help prevent disease transmission.
