Question:
hello,

I just wanted to get a feel of people's outbreaks of cold sores.
Ive been to two doctors, both of which told me I didn't have cold sores.
But I keep reading outbreaks can be anything.

Do they HAVE to be blisters?
how long do they generally last? with this question, can you be specific. Like, how long it takes to fully go away, or how long a blister dries up.

Ive never had a blister or anything around my mouth. tiny pimples yes, nothing ever clustered.
but I do have hair folicles everywhere, even some on my vermilion border.
I do tend to get lots of pimples as well.

Answer:
honestly the right thing to ask you to do is go in for a herpes test ? the last time we had sores my doctor took one and he said we had oral herpes you might be having that so maybe be you should take a test and see what happens coz u need to know the cause of those sores it has to be something ....all the love and good luck
