I’m only 18 and I think I have herpes

Hello, this is really hard to talk about I feel so embarrassed and disgusting. I think I have hsv1 I’ve always been cautious and worried about having an std and even like little cuts and stuff worry me thinking it’s herpes. I have been sick recently and yesterday I had this weird swelling pain and like a sorta bump on my lip, I only noticed it at about 9am yesterday. When I got home I tried to pop it and it was sorta like a white head. Like a solid sorta white stuff came out and so did a bit of clear fluid and blood. The spot was really small amd it hurts to touch, now it looks yellow and it still hurts and feels a bit swollen but it dosnt hurt or anything as much as it did. It really does resemble a cold sore. I thought i had herpes a few weeks ago but it didn’t really look anything like what I have now. I can send someone a photo if they want to have a look. Ik it’s kinda too early to panic but I’m so scared. I feel absolutely horrible and disgusting idk what to do. If I have herpes I think I’m going to take my life,I’m so young and I feel like my life is over. I can’t even have a relationship with anybody I feel terrible. I hope it’s not herpes.

Noticed this today the spot was not there I tried to pop it, it looked like a fordyce spot/tiny pimple before I popped it, there was also a little hair in it I pulled out with tweezers, it feels swollen and a lil bit painful, it has felt swollen all day but I only noticed it and the feeling started at about 9am this morning felt normal before that

Is this herpes or a cut/raw skin ? Need an opinion asap

Does this look like herpes or a cut/chapped lip

It is painful. I have no history of any stds or herpes, I do lick my lips quite frequently and have pretty chapped lips most of the time. These photos aren’t really clear but in person it looks more like a cut and like raw skin, I’m terrified of it being herpes. I have no other symptoms. Anyone have an idea ?? I have been applying lip balm since I noticed it. Last person I kissed was on may 30. Does it look like herpes.

Hello, I’ve only recently noticed this weird feeling in the roof of my mouth kinda feels like a burn idk but I ate these chocolate covered biscuits yesterday afternoon and since then the roof of my mouth has felt weird, I then tried to have a look and I saw this red spot there’s also another one but way smaller above my front teeth. I’m terrified it could be herpes or something pls help me
