Can you get herpes inside your mouth?Let me explain: On the left, lower side of my mouth, outside the teeth (About where the gums reach the base of the mouth) I have a disturbing looking white.. orb.. that looks kind of like the fat from a steak. Looks like a sore to me (its about the size of a pimple, i suppose)Is there some sort of site I could send a picture of it to and have them give a diagnosis? Could I post a pic here?Can herpes be transferred by sharing a ciggarette or pipe?I think im freaking out right now

Welcome to A2A, blagblag. There are a lot of different ways of getting a sore inside the mouth like that - have a look here.

Probably a Canker Sore

Well, I hope it isn't cancer, but I don't think that I've been smoking long enough to get it.I did think of the canker sore thing, but I've had those before and they're usually smaller, and not raised, as this one appears. I notice on some of the stuff I read that you shouldn't share utensils for fear of getting/spreading herpes. For future reference, does it actually spread that way? Thats why I asked about the pipe thing (Mind you, some people slobber no small amount).

My main questions are:Do my symptoms describe herpesAnd: Can I get or transfer herpes by sharing suck implement such as silverware and smoking devices with other people?Really, if I have herpes, that sucks. But thats one thing. If I CAN tranfer it to other people, I want to know. Because if theres one thing I believe in, its do no harm, and knowing whether or not I'm possibly inviting harm to other people by smoking with them is one huge step towards preserving that philosophy.I've dried finding hte information myself, but so far, i've failed. It is on humble knee th

*that i ask you all this, because I simply cannot live with myself I'm knowingly give some one else a infection that I did not warn them of the risk of. Thanks in advance: Blagblag

Yes herpes can be spread on items passed from mouth to mouth without being sterilized if one person has an active infection.
Things such as proper washing of eating utensils would eliminate the risk.

I think it's unlikely to be herpes. Is there any reason you can't go to a doctor and get it diagnosed, so you know?
