Today, thanks to puberty, I have an acne rash around my mouth. Rumors are already flying around school saying I have herpes. FML

Don't worry. It'll get better. Also, the herpes you get on your face isn't the same virus as the one you get down there - so no worries!

Children can be cruel... Keep your head up OP! I'm sure everything will clear up with them, and your mouth in no time!

Well, just learned more about herpies than I wanted to know through these comments. Anyways it's a common "rumor" that goes around high schools that face achne is herpies. Just people carrying on a bad joke that is at least a decade old. Lazy high school brats don't have any originality nowadays.

Dude. I have the same problem. Just when someone says something about it don't let them know it bothers u. Good luck

90% of the adult population in the world have some form of herpes. It's completely harmless other than the bumps you'd get. Nothing to worry about even if it were herpes and not just acne

Alba botanica acne dote pick it up at whole foods or target you are welcome

That sucks op, in response you should ask how they know what herpes looks like

Don't worry rumers will go away and also just FYI, both herpes simplex 1 (most commonly known as cold sores) and simplex 2 (most often found on genitals, more complex and severe) can be transmitted to either mouth or genitals ... They're not exclusive to anywhere ...

well don't look into it too much but you actually do have herpes it's just not genital herpes
