Who's had a cold sore before? Can y'all take a look at these photos in the comments and tell me if…

It doesn't look like any cold sore I've seen before.

@damiensmommy1117, I looked at pictures on google and I thought the same thing but I wasn't sure if this looked like the first stage or not

It doesn't look like one too me.

Do u think you may be allergic to something in something that you used on your lips?

I had one under my nose a few weeks ago & it started out just a raised red bump like yours. Could be one in my opinion.

@liz41395, I used chapstick before and this hasn't happened so I don't think that's the case here :/

@lifewithlynniejade88, how long did it take to go away?

@canaryv, Idk then it doesn’t look comfortable at all. Sorry mama

It takes mine at least a week.

@liz41395, it's not painful yet, just a tight/slightly numb feeling from the swelling 🤦🏻‍♀️hopefully it goes away soon

@lifewithlynniejade88, what do you use to help it go away?

Abreva or if I don't have that I'll just try to dry it up with tea tree oil or alcohol. I hate them. I've been getting them since I was a kid. It's a form of the herpes virus & I'll always carry it & they will always pop up randomly but I'm prescribed valtrex to prevent outbreaks. It could be something else but I'd try to put some tea tree oil on it for now & maybe prevent it from forming.

@canaryv i have had them look like that before. They have stuff at the store that tskes it away fast.

@lifewithlynniejade88, thank you :)

@tristan-makes-5, thank you!
