  1. Hey everyone, Please bare with spelling and grammatical errors as I'm trying to type this before my Lunch break ends. I've been getting cold sores on my upper lip since I was a preteen I've come to terms with them. The last 2 years I started getting them much more frequently practically 2x a month every month...terribly embarrassing and annoying. So I went to the doctor and was put on Acyclovir as needed at the first sign of a cold sore popping up. Now previously I never had any warning signs just all of a sudden My lip would start hurting and that's when I knew. I'm OCD about hand washing when I get them and not contaminating Or spreading the virus anywhere else. I've put myself on a lysine supplement, started exercising, and for whatever reason have Been cold sore free for over 8 months. Now last Saturday I had a low grade fever that came out of nowhere and left just as suddenly. Didn't think anything of it. Monday I had a really weird tingle tickle run up the inside of my upper lip. Stupidly didn't think anything of it. Wednesday the inside of my nose started hurting. I thought oh annoying I'm just getting a zit. And I was poking at it all day. Wednesday night I looked at it and it was a blister and it popped. Now I'm panicking because I have never had a cold sore there. How could have I gotten one there?? I've never actually been tested to find out what type I have I just always assumed it was hsv-1. And I thought they didn't just pop up all willy nilly where ever they felt like going. So I'm panicking about where they are going to pop up next. I made an appt to get tested next week at my pap. I know if I spread it anywhere else from me being an idiot and poking at it the first day I guess it's just a wait and see after three or so weeks. Anyway...any thoughts or reassuring or not would be helpful. Thanks!
