Okay first off it is NOT from bad hygiene! Secondly just cause you can pop it does not mean its not herpes. There is a stage with herpes when they are able to get popped. However you should never pop them either way, as this will only cause more sourness and redness as you have experienced. Lastly cold soars does come form the herpes virus however you do not need to be intimate with a person to contract them. There are many ways of contracting them, sharing a glass, kissing, oral sex, etc. You could have gotten them when you were a child and someone kissed you, or even putting a toy in your mouth after another kid who had them. The one thing about cold sours is they can lie dormant in your system, and you would never know it is there until one day it just appears. As for what the white head means on the sore I do not know, that is why I am trying to read these forums to figure out. I recently woke up with a soar on the edge of my upper lip, and by the end of the day it had a huge white head on it. So far I have not been able to figure out if its a cold soar or just a nasty zit. What I have concluded is this, if you really want to know what it is, just pop in the doctors office and have them have a look. You will get the answer right then and there.

Hello, everybody! I have worked in skincare for 8 years now and I am reading a lot of myths in these replies. It is true that toothpaste can help dry out a pimple. However, toothpaste is not a real astringent, and leaving it on overnight can actually cause more germs to remain under the skin, which is why the whitehead comes back in the same spot. Popping, squeezing, or "milking" a pimple also traps germs and bacteria under the skin, causing reoccuring pimples by the mouth.
Because the mouth is such a high traffic area, it is very easy for zits to form and remain. The best cure is not in washing your face a lot, (you should wash twice a day, morning and night, to avoid drying out your skin too much). When your face feels oily or dirty throughout the day, use witchhazel on a cotton ball, (very cheap at any drugstore), to quickly wipe your face. For overnight treatment, made a small bit of paste out of baking soda and water, leave it on the whitehead for about and hour, and RINSE IT OFF before you go to bed to prevent it from attracting bacteria.
Please remember, everyone, that all people have problems with zits, and that the best cure is to eat a diet low in sodium, oils, and fats, get plenty of rest, (to avoid stress pimples), wash your face twice daily, and NOT TO SQUEEZE OR POP your pimples.

I get the same thing when I have PMS. It's so embarassing because I know people are wondering if it's herpes! I've never had one that turned into anything resembling a blister, so I know it's not that.

those really big painful pimples tend to be hormone induced. Try not to mess with it till it comes to a head, then use a hot wet washcloth as a compress and it should drain on it's own

i have acne around my chin on the lower half of my face. they are almost always white heads and i have gotten them right on my lip line. Its really painful, and i have had them where they have swollen soo much my lip gets all puffy and i look like i have a fat lip/cold sore. I find pimple creams with salicylic acid work really well. Vichy has a good one, called norma derm. cuts the life of my white heads in half. Oh also when they get really big it is usually hormomal. Also when skin is over stimulated ie. waxing, shaving, tweezing, it is commom to breakout. cleanse and tone with product that has salicylic acid after. i swear it helps!

I have one right now, it hurts so bad and if it wasn't for the big white head you would think I got punched in the mouth. It's been there for a couple of days. I hope it goes away soon, I don't even care that people see it right about now. I just want my lip to stop hurting when I speak and eat and breathe!!!

Ingrown hair. Presents itself as a pimple right on the edge of the lip and you can pop and pus will come out, but many times unless you get the hair out it can come back. If you get the hair out it will usually go away for a while but can grow back again. But dont go digging yourself for the hair!!! You can get it infected. Go to doctor!

I think you have Fordyce's condtion. The whole facial skin is covered with sebaceous (oil) glands, but you can't see them. When there are a bunch on the lips,
you can see them against the pink background. These are not herpes or
contagious. There really isn't any treatment for them that makes them
go away, but they do in my expereince fluctuate in intensity.

I get them too, maybe it's an allergy? I only get them after I've drank out of something plastic so I now stick to glass cups and I don't get as many. If you leave them alone until they come to a head they should just heal right up.

That last statement is a lie. Acne has many causes and can be treated with multiple things like diet, antibiotics, topical medicine, de-stressing your life, and even birth control for women which regulates your hormones.

I literally have one directly on my lip, it's really embarrassing and it hurts. I talk with my head down and i try to cover it with lipstick ( sorta helps) anyways.. I ice it so it freezes then I try to pop it then put alcohol on it with a rag and then leave it on there. Then I put toothpaste on it. The honey and cinnamon don't work for me. Toothpaste is the way to go
