Im a 22 year old male and im consfused about what it looks live hives but not exactly sure if it could be that or herpes...but i don't get any cold sores. It starts off by a little redness around my mouth or right above my chin...it then looks like a mosquito bite or if im having a allergic reaction to something...half of the time they go away and the other half they kinda turn into a popped pimple in a way but no pain at all....i don't think its cold sores...so im just kinda confused and don't know what to do....
