Is this herpes?

So I accidentally bit the nside of my lower lip the other day, and lately it's been slightly, um, "itchy" feeling? So today I started biting it somewhat aggressively, and tore off a flap of skin. Now it looks like this. I literally went through the exact same thing with the other side of my lip, but that sore was much more rounded, which I read indicates a canker sore. This sore, however, looks much more herpes-like in shape, from what I've seen. Nevertheless I still want another opinion. I'm supposed to have a date tomorrow so I'm kind of freaking out...
