Canker or Cold sore? Pls help.

Hello all,

Can someone identify if this is a canker or cold sore? I got swabbed for it yesterday so hopefully it’s just a canker sore. I had went to my dermatologist (mind you she’s misdiagnosed me before) and she had said it was cold sore without properly testing it …so I went to patient first and the doctor said it looked like a canker sore but I still wanted to get it swabbed for confirmation. She herself told me she gets cold sores and explained where they form and how they looked but your girl needs that confirmation. I have to wait a few days for the results to come back and I’ve been losing my mind for 2 days. I pray it isn’t a cold sore. It doesn’t itch, burn, or tingle. However, I do feel a little pain when I rub my lips together when applying carmex and when I eat.

Please has anyone had this before???
