What Does A Cold Sore Or Fever Blister Look Like? Archives

Okay so Ive had this little mole like thing on the top of my lip since I was born and although Ive never really liked it, it was never really a problem. Latley though its been embarrassing. A girl commented on what she thought was a large pimple on my lip (it was the mole) and others jokingly call it herpes lip. Today, a woman recomended me a medicine for coldsores thinking that my mole was a coldsore.

This put me in tears and I didnt feel like going out the rest of the day. Ive always been proud of the way I looked. I never got braces because I like my teeth, don’t straighten my hair, never were makeup, but now Im detimined to get this thing removed. A doctors appointment is set up.

Im just worried Ill regret it because I feel like everything on my body is sort of special.

But its really embarassing to think that everytime people look at me they see a large pimple or cold sore or herpes.

(Ignore how I look like an idiot in these pictures, theyre old. And in the pictures it looks darker, but its kinder pinker, almost seethroughish but not really)

Ignore how I look stupid in all the pictures, they’re pretty old.
And ignore how I said to ignore the pictures twice…

I have had it for about a week now, and it looked like it started out as a pimple, but i’m not sure what has happend now. I’ve never had a cold sore before, so I don’t know what it looks like really. It hurts, and its pretty dry, it didn’t develop any liquids or anything inside, its just kind of a pain to open. It doesnt burn, or itch or anything, just when I eat it kinda stretches and hurts a bit. What could this be, and how could i treat it?

Here are some pictures, sorry if its a bit gross, it doesn’t look THAT gross though. Please don’t be rude, thanks everyone. :)

This is the first time I’ve had cold sores and I’m just a little worried and want to make sure this is actually what they are meant to do? All pictures I find of cold sores look like red rashes.

This is day five, and my mouth is caked with yellow pus stuff and some black blood from when I tried to gently clean the loose bits yesterday. It’s been hurting all today (because cleaning the bits that seem to not even be attached still makes it hurt a lot later! I know not to touch it at all now)

Here are the photos (warning, they are GROSS):
* Day 2 (when I saw the doctor and was confirmed they are cold sores, some of that is lip balm to cool down the pain): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/ChocoboDragon/ouchness.jpg

* Day 3: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/ChocoboDragon/ouchness_more.jpg

* Day 5 (today, with Zovirax cream): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/ChocoboDragon/ouchness_evenmore.jpg

Again, I’m sorry it’s so gross!
They still hurt a bit, but not unbearable like Day 3 was.

And yes, I do understand that people here aren’t doctors and can’t diagnose it, but if someone has experience or had them before or something it would be helpful. I will be going to the doctors anyway (they wouldn’t accept me tonight), but I want answers now! :( Yes, it is herpes. So that is what it’s meant to do then?

I have a small bump on my lip. it’s in the middle of my bottom lip… it hurts a little but when i purse my lips together i can’t feel a bump. But i can see it… I don’t know if it’s a fever blister or just a split of the skin on my lip? Or a scratch… i dont know :( im really worried that it might be a cold sore. Im 17 and have never had a cold sore in my life, but both my parents have the herpes simplex virus which causes them to have cold sores. But when they get sores i stay pretty far away from them and try to be away from home as much as i can. I dont use their stuff or share razors, towels, drinking glasses, utensils, etc. I’ve always been really careful about not contracting the virus. But this bump is freaking me out! I dont know what cold sores look like at first. Is is possible that it could be a pimple? Do people get pimples on their lips?? Im so scared, i don’t wanna give the virus to my boyfriend if it is a cold sore… Of course i wouldn’t kiss him or anything if it is. Is herpes simplex hereditary?? I REALLYYY HOPE I DONT HAVE IT!!
HELP!
