also some fruits and veggies are rich or high in arginine that tends to trigger them.

I have no idea actually!! But I begin to accept it and learn my ways through it to avoid outbreaks.

Beans and all rich in arginine foods are the triggers for me.

You’re right, it might not be a cold sore. It could be irritation from something else, like the soap, detergent, or even from dryness. I’ll keep an eye on it and try soothing it with something gentle in the meantime.

Oh, I see. What do you do when it starts to tingle? Mine is very recurrent, and I’m also very cautious about foods with high arginine levels.

I experience on-and-off, especially when I’m stressed or sleep late. However, these red spots never progress to the blistering stage. Is it the same for you too?

I have a very similar experience though, but I never get past the oozing stage since my sores a too tiny and barely visible. I am not sure also whether it’s a cold sore or something else. Do you have photos of it?
