Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history and description, it seems that you might have contacted herpes labialis. It is a viral infection which usually spreads by close contact like kissing. You need to take a course of antivirals like Acyclovir for 5 days. You could also apply acyclovir ointment 3 times a day for 5 days.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
