My "friend" is intrested in a girl and she is smoking hot.
It was noticed she has a "pimple" on her lip. 
Is there anyway to tell if its a pimple or teh Herpes? 
As far as I know the pimple appeared recently. Pics are going to be hard to get so I cant promise those but I will try so no need to ask.

Since pimples on lips are so common, it's going to be hard to tell.

I've gotten a lot of pimples in my years...but I have yet to ever get one on my lips. I've got to say, my money is on the herpes.
But hey...I've seen the commercials...people with herpes have all sorts of fun. |

Considering 80% of the population has Herpes 1 (oral version) it's a good chance that is what it is.
Some people have the virus and never show any signs of it. No big deal. |

If it looks like a cold sore (herpes) not a pimple, then it's chirpys and it's untweetable.

it's more like 90+%, but only ~50% of people with HSV1 get cold sores. Even if you don't get cold sores, you still probably have HSV1, even up on that high horse. To the op, a cold sore is on the lip (called the vermillion border), while a pimple will be on the skin. If it's close to the border, to tell where it is, you may have to look very closely. fwiw, a cold sore can look like a bunch of small bubbles that then pop while a pimple will just be a single bubble. |

Some people get blackheads around their lips and they turn into pimples. I've got one on my upper lip right now. Just examine her face for blackheads and if shes gottem, its probably not herpes.

Pimples are usually on thr border between lips & skin. While herpes is actually on the lips. Either way its usually pretty easy to distinguish one from the other.

Either way its nasty.
For the record, while I played football, I'd get acne from where my chin guard rubbed my chin and kept getting dirt rubbed directly into my skin mixed with the sweat/grime that accumulates in a chin guard. breakouts galore. I'd get a pimple every now and then near my lower lip, but actually on my skin. I finally went to a dermatologist that told me to grow a beard if possible, voila', the acne problem went away for the most part. I've had good skin since then and a beard (which I shave off occasionally in the summer time). |

Dude, a cold sore and a pimple look quite different...
A cold sore is caused by one type of herpes virus, but it's not necessarily caused by the same type that causes the condition 'herpes' as you know it. It's the same thing as HPV. If you've ever had a wart, you've got HPV, but this doesn't mean you have genetal warts... |

If it's on the actual lip, like many people have said, it's a cold sore. If it's right at the edge of the lip it's just a zit. People who are afraid of cold sores are pretty funny. Big macho gun owners here, down with the man!!! Oh, but if you have a cold sore I'm afraid I'll have to run away.
My wife gets cold sores every now and then, and yes I've kissed her when she has had them, and no I never get them, I probably have the virus but just not affected by it. You should definitely run away though. |

One is a raised red bump with a small head in the center (usually white from the pus inside).
One is a clear vesicle, or group of vesicles (clear fluid-filled blister) on a flatter red base. Once the vesicle ruptures, it will crust over. Visibly, you might be able to tell the difference, depending on the stage of the respective lesions. |

I get cold sores on the skin near my lips more often than I actually get one on my lip. I've gotten pimples in the same place. When one first starts to flare up, sometimes even I have a hard time telling which it is. I always hope it's a pimple, because if it's a coldsore, that's two weeks I can't kiss my wife.
Valtrex is the shiznit, BTW. Went from 8-10 sores in one year to 1 sore in the last two.

It's only about 25-30% who have either HSV1 or HSV2 *anywhere*. Oral, genital, skin, anywhere on the body. If you're thinking chickenpox (which is another herpes type virus), then 80% is reasonable, but not for the two variants that everyone thinks of as "herpes" in common parlance. |

To clarify for you: 1) Same virus = 'Both are Herpes'... In the same sense that 'Bird Flu' and 'Swine Flu' are both 'Flu'. 2) Method of transmission: While it is possible to have GH on your mouth, the point of that statment is that just because one has cold sores does not mean that they got them by sexual transmission, and in general most cases of cold sores are not an STD incedent. Is that specific enough for you? |

I've seen pimples near the lips (hair follicles and sweat glands there can produce a pimple if bacteria gets in there)... But on the lip itself? Sounds like herpes. |

I've never gotten a 'cold sore' or a herpes or whatever
BUT I have really 'sensitive' skin, so when Im using my electric razor on my face, sometimes (especially around my mouth) the skin will get irritated and make little red bumps. They only last a couple hours provided I dont itch them. I think it happens when the trimmer 'pulls' the whisker instead of cutting it clean, irritating the skin. I always hate going out in public after that because I dont want people thinkin Ive got the herp! |

Hey kids, this is an important point... just like the Valtrex commercial says, you can still have herpes and spread herpes even if cold sores aren't present. The site of the virus can be active without any outward indication, hence why there are a ton of people who have herpes, spread herpes and don't know it. In other words, someone who has never had cold sores in their life can kiss you and give you herpes. Your experience may vary from theirs. Get it? No wait, DON'T get it! You can get a blood test to check for it which is a very responsible thing to do. I signed a pledge to get tested every six months while I was in college, but they only test for the really bad stuff. To get tested for herpes, you need to get a separate blood test. Asking a chick you just met/just started dating to get a test is tougher though... presumably it would be tough to argue, "I'm not going to kiss you until you get tested." Let her know that in your culture, buttsex comes before kissing and see if that buys you some time. No, honestly, I'd wait and see what happens to that thing. If it's a zit it'll go away like a zit. If it's not, you'll see something different. If you're worried either way, EJECT!!! |
