Question : I seem to have little bumps around the areola on both breasts. I was recently with a man I've been dating for awhile and he did have oral contact in this area. I found out later from him that he saw his dr regarding some canker sores on his tongue and inside cheek before we were together. He had also been recently quite sick with bronchitis. Please note that I have had genital herpes for about 7 years and very rarely have an outbreak. When I do, it's in a very small spot on my labia.
