Hey did those spots ever go away?
I have the same thing
Hello,
Cold sores is caused by HSV1. Pain, burning, tingling, or itching occurs at the infection site before the sores appear. Then clusters of blisters erupt which break down. You need to get some investigations like sample from the sores to identify the virus, culture analysis, Tzanck smear, antigen and antibody studies and blood sampling for antibody studies done to confirm the diagnosis. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Thank you for the help. Currently I still have the exact same marks above my upper. They still do not itch or tingle or burn. There has been no blistering and bumps.
"If there is any blister which scabs over, then get cold sores ruled out."
does this mean because there is no blistering it still may be cold sores?
Also do you recommend that I go to a dermatologist or a general care physician?
Hello,
From the symptoms it can be hives, sweat dermatitis or heat rash. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort. For the itching antihistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin can be taken.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
it could be due to the heat. Give it a day or so and see if they dissapear, and if they do you know it's related to the heat.
