Pretty sure this is a cold sore and I’m really sad about it
Got my first cold sore at 30. I made out with a lot of people in my 20s so I could’ve gotten it anywhere 😞. Kicking myself about this now. I never had a cold sore so I thought I was fine. Was recently sick (bad allergies) and wiping my nose and mouth a lot. I’ve always dealt with acne so I just thought it was a pimple. I put a patch on it and it didnt really draw out like a pimple would. Was researching cold sores and I didnt initially have a cluster of bumps so didnt think anything of it. And thought maybe I wiped too hard? It’s been about 2 weeks and I’m starting to see the clusters form. It doesn’t and hasn’t hurt at all. So a little confused about that. Hate that I have to be out around people with it. Plan to go to the doctor to get tested to confirm. Not a great photo but what does everything think? Cold sore or something else?
