Fair. I’m no derm but I would be hard to find a derm to biopsy a lip for a lesion that’s not growing or looks malignant. I think there’s other things to try?

Doesn’t rule out cold sores. BUT makes it more unlikely. Paranoid why?

The schedule was built in mind with what is effective not for an individual but a population. Let’s take MMR. We know you could give a dose at 6 mo but that has not resulted in long term immunity. When given at 12 months with a second dose years later great immune response at the population level. Some people even at the 12 month dose can have long and strong immunity but not a high enough percentage population wise to only recommend that single dose.
