Skin irritation caused by kissing?

Question

After kissing my boyfriend my skin has become very irritated. Its red, dry and has slight bumbs all over the areas where he kissed me. Does this happen to anyone else? I was told this happens to a few couples as the skin adjusts to new saliva.

Anyone have any advice on how to treat the irritation, or help if heal faster? Its not severe and I know it will go away (its happened to someone in the family before) so I dont plan to go to the Dr. Thank you!

Answer 1

Herpes, outbreaks come and go but its for life. In severe cases it can cause blindness. See a doctor to be safe.

Answer 2

It sounds like he passed on herpes to you.  You can use cortisone cream to get rid of it faster.

Answer 3

You might want to see the Doctor and make Sure that you did not pick up Herpes! Better to be safe than Sorry later.
