▲ 1 r/Coldsore
Is this a cold sore? Never had one before
Woke up feeling like I had bitten the crap out of my lip in my sleep, burning and raw feeling. Looked in the mirror to see it was red and swollen near the middle of my top lip. The inside is also red and swollen (why that side of my top lip is drooping down when I smile)
Pics are from about 12 hours after I noticed it this morning. I’ve never had a cold sore before so I’m unsure if this is the beginning stages of one or not. I also do not own any treatments but am planning to get some first thing in the morning.
For now, I put aquafor on that spot with a clean q-tip and used the other clean side to put it on the rest of my lips (trying not to rub it on the spot then all over…is that correct?)
