No I don't have genital herpes....ON MY FACE!!! There is no chance of me infecting ANYONE. I see no one and have no friends, I do not work and don't socialize. I see a dermatologist every 6 months for skin cancer. I sometimes get the oral herpes on my face where I have had pre-cancer actinic keratosis. I take Valtrex when I do. I took the prescription the other day.
I don't use this forum or any other as a diagnosis of any kind. Sometimes I just like to see how people answer my questions. It is interesting how many different perspectives there are out there.

Did you go down on any infected wieners?

A doctor could tell you. Maybe it's an allergy to something.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause lip and mouth sores (herpes labialis) and genital herpes if your skin comes into contact with either type.
What are the symptoms?
You can be infected with HSV and have no symptoms. For some people, however, cold sores can be painful. Initial symptoms can include mouth soreness, fever, sore throat, or swollen lymph glands. Small children sometimes drool before a cold sore appears. After the blisters develop, cold sores usually break open, weep clear fluid, and then crust over and disappear after several days to a week.
Cold sores are blisters on the lips and the edge of the mouth that are caused by an infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sore blisters usually break open, weep clear fluid, and then crust over and disappear after a few days.
Other symptoms may include:
A sore mouth that makes eating, drinking, and sleeping uncomfortable. Cold sores can be painful.
A fever.
A sore throat.
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
Drooling, in small children.
You may not develop cold sores when you are first infected with HSV. If cold sores do develop when you are first infected, they may be more severe than in later outbreaks. During the first outbreak of cold sores, the blisters may spread to any part of the mouth.
After you become infected, HSV remains in your body and may cause cold sores to return throughout your lifetime (recurrent cold sores). Most people have 1 to 12 outbreaks a year, but have fewer outbreaks as they get older.1

Only way I would think is see a Doctor.
Before that though, I'd search Google for pictures similar to what you see, and maybe you'll realize it's not a problem at all. But blisters on your face? I'm guessing there's something goin on there :/

It doesn't sound like skin cancer, as I don't think the symptoms would appear quite so suddenly.
It could be any number of things - sunburn, an allergic reaction...
I'm not sure about facial herpes as I don't know the symptoms but the best thing to do would be to see your doctor. With any luck you will just need some cream to calm it down and it is just a temporary thing.
Take care :-)
