I think I have herpes, please help!? Recently I accedentally used lip gloss that I thought was mine, but was actually belonging to a friend of my mother's who I must say... from my own opinions of her from what I've heard, isn't very sexually concious. I'm afraid that she may have herpes and no one really knows it. Anyway... after using the lip gloss, I noticed that I had sores on my mouth that resembled cold sores, but they had no liquid in them, were slightly smaller than cold sores, and eventually crusted over leaving a rash-looking itchy patch on my upper and lower lips. These are now crusting over, it's been 2 weeks since I've used the lip gloss, and I'm afraid I have herpes! Help me!!! I want to kiss my boyfriend!! lol I talked with a RN over the phone and she said not to make contact with anyone untill she's for certain it's not a cold sore... which it doesnt resemble a cold sore but itches like crazy and resembles eczema, which I do have. Anyone know what the symptoms of herpes are and if I might have it? thanks.

Summarized question: Is it possible to get herpes from using someone else's lip gloss? What are the symptoms of herpes?
