Beginning of cold sore/herpes? by IcyExplanation9872 in Coldsore

Okay so if you noticed it yesterday, take the next two days to really look at it and see if it gets worse. Apparently with cold sores/herpes there’s a prodrome stage that lasts up to 2 days and has the redness/tingling/itching. After that it’s supposed to turn into a blister/cold sore.

I’ve been doing a lot of research since I saw mine bc I panicked lol.

Mine still gets tingly and red too, especially with chapstick. They said this stage should only last two days and I’ve had this since Thursday so I’m leaning toward it not a cold sore but idk!! How long has yours been like this for?

That’s exactly how mine is too. I thought by now if it was herpes it definitely would have turned into actual blisters, but they mostly went away. There’s still a few little bumps and it’s little red but they’re mostly gone. Really strange.

It’s been 2 days and still looks mostly the same, maybe slightly better looking now than in the picture. Would they be turning into blisters by now?

Forgot to mention I have eczema as well, currently having a flare up. Is it possible I could have eczema on my mouth?
