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

@tristan-makes-5, thank you!

@lifewithlynniejade88, thank you :)

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

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.

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

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

It takes mine at least a week.

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

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

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

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.

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

It doesn't look like one too me.

@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 any cold sore I've seen before.
