I had a cold sore but then i did all of this....
I got a cold sore for the first time ever at 28 years old a week and a half ago, I did the whole abreva thing and would pick at the scabs.... I read it was best to pop the ulcers to get the virus out and sterilize it. I did not have a needle so I popped a few sores like a pimple and washed it with hand sanitizer. I also had some odd ingrown hairs there and could not shave so I took a tweezer and pulled out about 10 of them in the area.
I woke the next day with a very swollen lip as can be seen in the following photo below.
The area where the cold sore was after tweezing the hairs out was fully numb for 30 hours like it has had a novocaine shot feeling to it all day long. A small squishy like cyst would also appear behind the aggrevated cold sore but it has pretty much gone away.
I also would later on take a needle and pop the little white ulcers to drain it so it would dry out but it would only spread with new smaller sores so I stopped messing with it all together.
If so do i Need to go get meds?
I am 5 years celibate including no kissing so I am guessing I got this touching my face after shaking hands since I work as a journalist. It was very cold the day before this popped up and my lips typically chap in cold weather, the next morning I had that tingling feeling where the sore would appear and my lips were dry.
I also take 40mg ritalin and 20mg Lexapro daily which may have been a factor here.
I am going on nearly 25 days with this now.

You look mexican.
We're not your doctors, pablo.
It doesn't matter how long you've been celibate if you have the herpes you have the herpes.
>>27259132

Italian American instead you faggot
>I am going on nearly 25 days with this now.

seconding this, take lots of pics of that.
>>27259132
fuck, bro.
that sucks major dick.
I would fucking be scared of you in public desu.
>I got a cold sore
Why not just say you have herpes? You ashamed that your normie ways caught up to you?
That shit is vomit tier nightmare fuel, are you going out in public everyday? What are people saying? Did you call in sick to work for weeks?

If that shit ever happened to me, I would find some liquid eyeliner and color it into a giant mole. I rather have everyone looking at a mole than thinking I was a degenerate.
Why would you have an in grown hair on your lips? I could see the upper stuff as zits but not the sores on your bottom lip.

Looks like folliculitis. Take some more pictures and then go see a dermatologist if you can afford it. If not get a GP or clinic.

Stop eating dagashi

Also I should add: Cats can get folliculitis too. So if you get these rashes after direct contact, you cat needs to get treated at the same time too.
I didnt ask how ugly it was, I asked what does it look like in terms of disease.
One thing.... I got this just over 24 hours after shaving and I did not know you had to shave down, I would always just shave however because I got the badass gillette razor.
Never have had a problem before shaving like this, but i also have never had a cold sore.

Seconding folliculitis. Quit being an autist and go see a doctor already.

Bullshit, faggot, you posted this pic last week and it looked even worst.
Don't make me search the archive.
>>27260974
Kek, you have a lot of nerve coming here asking for help for a disease that only normies get. Fuck off to /soc/ or something.
>>27259132
Actually if you have herpes cold sores you probably got them from your parents at a very young age. Don't feel too bad this happens to a lot of people including one of my best friends who contracted her oral herpes from her parents before she was even 7.
Anyway prob go see a doctor because I have no idea what any of that is.

I would pop them. How do you just walk around with pimples like that? It's so fucking gross I can see the puss in your skin. I would ten times rather have a couple scabs than some fucking nasty boil looking thing that looks like it could explode on whoever you're talking to any second.
>>27260128
Could be this. Try using witch hazel on it.

Wow you saved that... Amazing.
In regards to autism, I never knew that shaving upwards is bad and I was told shaving up prob caused this, I litteraly got it 24 hours after shaving upwards.
