Ok will do. I don't pick at it or anything I leave it be. Only thing I do is put lip balm or Vaseline in it. Just so were on the same page. I will see if I can set something up for this weekend.
Thank you,
And if you have any other thoughts please let me know.
Do yourself a favor. go to a doctor and have it swabbed and cultured otherwise we are just talking about what if,s.
Usual a herpes sore will appear, scab over and heal in about 2 weeks. If it keeps reacurring it dosent seem herpes related. Maybe its a pimple and you keep picking at it reinfecting it.
Why would it keep reoccurring tho? It doesn't form to be a pimple now. Just that one time. Now it just gets red an raised a little then goes away.
I will say that if puss came out its mostly likely a pimples as herpes tends to have a clear liquid center.
Life 360- thank you for the response. Wouldn't they have to break it open to swab it? It has never actually popped and formed a scab. Other then the first appearance when I popped it myself, but to me it seemed just like a black head, or standard pimple minus it never actually going away. I am living down at school so it will be challenging to get a swab done within 48 hours of it appearing. And how would I know it's 48 hours when it never fully goes away?
Hi, if your concerned its herpes then get tested. A swab of the sore is best but should be done within 48 hours after appearing. From what you describe, it dosent seem herpes related as is lasting to long. Herpes sores usually appear, scab over and heal in about 2 weeks.
