?apththous ulcer

[heavyd179]

I have a small ulcerated ~4mm lesion on my lip, as well as a white, ovoid, ~4mm lesion on the floor of my mouth.  Both occurred about 10 days after I (male) performed oral sex on a new (female) partner.  We had intercourse as well but always protected.  Both lesions are slightly painful and I have no other lesions (oral or genital) after careful inspection of my oral mucosa.  I have never had any genital or oral lesions before.  My partner claims to never had any oral or genital lesions nor STDs.

Perhaps? important, I had a PPD (negative) placed 6 days prior to the lesions.

I suspect this is aphthous stomatitis, although I don't believe I've ever had it before.  I am of course worried about HSV1 or HSV2, as well.

The reason I sound informed is that I'm a health professional, but I ask because I'm in a field that is well away from these things.

Many thanks in advance,

Well, then you know more than I do on it lol.

You really need to see your doctor.

mentioned PPD because of reported cross-reactivity of mycobacterium Abs and aphthous ulcers (which are presumed to be auto-immune in nature).

You should see your doctor about this.  It sounds apthous, but you should be seen anyway, and get this cultured.

Your PPD wouldn't have anything to do with this.
