Herpes? Angular Chelitis? Angular herpes?
27 YO male. Been tested a few times with negative test results for HSV 1 and 2 IGG tests. However, from time to time, I get these little sores on the very corner of my mouth (generally on the right side, VERY small, and singular). They don't hurt terribly bad and don't really leave any crusting. Sometimes they are tender and red, but generally not painful (barely noticeable most of the time). I was curious to know if this has happened to anyone else and they found out what it was? I don't think it's herpes, but it shares some symptoms.
I'm fairly sexually active, but I am very cautious as to whom I sleep with, always wear condoms, and give a good check of someone's oral region before I engage in anything. Thoughts?

Yes it is a very tricky spot and the skin in the area becomes very susceptible. I'd be applying some form of moisturiser and antibacterial cream and see how you go.
Thanks for the reply. Even if recurs on a single side of the mouth it still seems bacterial to you? Is it because its on the very corner and not really in the traditional spots? Bear with me as i'm just getting a good grasp on my OCD and how to control it (clinically diagnosed).
