Hsv ?

I’ve been getting single pimples around or on my lips for as long as I could remember. They’ve never been in a cluster but they’re have been more than one on my lip in different places. They’re so small but still noticeable. Sometimes they’re whiteheads and sometimes they’re not. I always thought I had hsv because my mom has it but when I see cold sores on google they look completely different. What could this be ?
