Sex Question: Can a Man Get Pimples After Giving Oral Sex?

Dear Dr. H,


Can a man get little pimples on his lower lip after giving oral sex?


Read on for Dr. Hilda Hutcherson's response.


A. While it is possible to transmit sexually transmitted infections (STI) through oral sex, the small pimples on the lower lip you describe are not the usual symptoms. Herpes appears as sores, much like cold sores, and symptoms of gonorrhea and chlamydia are often a sore throat (and sometimes there are no symptoms at all). This may just be a case of acne, but to be safe, I'd suggest that your partner consult his dermatologist or primary care physician, especially if you have an STI.


Readers, do you have any other questions about STIs or oral sex? Let's talk about them here!
