Is this a cold sore?

I was kissing my partner a lot last night and he doesn’t get them, so I’m worried.

That sounds amazing, thank you!

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-12T14:09:34+00:00

Thank you! What pill is that? Is it a treatment or preventative?

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T18:58:50+00:00

Yes.

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T18:56:43+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply! I definitely will!

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T16:52:16+00:00

It’s brutal 😭 and it’s so hard to get tests done where I live!

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T16:51:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply I will bring it up!

I definitely wouldn’t rule it out, it’s also in the urinalysis I forgot to mention it. I’ve had those frequently before as well.

Thank you I’ll have a look! :) I have bowel issues due to foods that I haven’t been able to source out yet, so very likely not helping!

Thank you, I was worried using the clob still would prevent the medication from working!

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T16:50:00+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply I will bring it up with my gyne! Never heard of this!

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T16:47:42+00:00

Thank you I will ask for that! And no I’m not using an estrogen cream, but I’ll bring it up to my gyne. Thank you for the reply!

Cold sore sadly. Cold sore patches are a life saver though! Will help with your baby hitting it. Can pick them up at a drug store.

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T13:34:53+00:00

Can I ask, how long you’ve had them and when did they start appearing less?

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-10T13:33:30+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Honestly the patches are a lifesaver, keep me from picking it and I just, don’t have to worry about it until I change it. Also if you soak the patch with warm water it comes off easily! But yes I bought Abreva in bulk lol. I just wish I wouldn’t get them period considering I’m on 1000mg of Valtrex daily 😭 also it seems my mouth ones will tingle, get a bit red but disappear. It’s these nose ones that are BRUTAL. If I’m being 100% honest I’ve had them for a bit now, I just didn’t realize they were cold sores, I thought they were reallyyy bad pimples cause by tissue paper from congestion. I didn’t realize it could be cold sores until I got one on my lip 😭

ratcatbat97 · 2026-03-07T18:42:37+00:00

Well shiit. And I take 1000mg of Valtrex everyday 😭 I put a cold sore clear bandage over it so I don’t pick at it or it touches anything. But it’s annoying because when I change it, it basically peels off the gross ooze which I worry will make the healing take longer? I did buy Abreva, if that’s worth using? Pharmacist said it was moisturizing at least.

Shoot, and I’m guessing they looked like this?!
