For the past years, I've been trying to treat my acne. I've made great progress recently but now....THIS had to happen.
On sunday night, I felt something painful on my lip. I looked in the mirror, it was a whitehead. The next day, Monday, the whitehead got bigger and it looked like a huge zit. It really hurt. My mother looked at it and figured it was a huge white head. She squeezed it and pus came out. It didn't hurt anymore. The next day, Tuesday, I looked in the mirror to see the whitehead was still there but smaller. My mom squeezed it again, got some pus but no seed. Then the next day, Wednesday which was yesterday, I felt something hurt on my lip where that zit was. I looked in the mirror, it got red and swollen and it looked like something was there. Later in the day...it looked like a cold sore with all these lesions or blisters on my upper lip where that zit was and it hurt. Today, it still looks at it did yesterday only now more visible. My mother said it looked like a herpes. I went to my University clinic and did a blood test for HSV 1 and HSV 2. Results would take two days. The Nurse Practitioner said it was a cold sore but she didn't see what it was before where it looked like a huge whitehead, a zit....
WHAT HAPPENED?!!
Everything was going up and up and THIS HAPPENS??!! I don't understand, it looked exactly like a whitehead, it wasn't a blister to begin with. My mom and I know what a blister looks like on the lips but this looked like the whiteheads I've been getting with acne on my face...I don't know if the blood test would be reliable now if it said negative...Do I now have to worry about herpes or is this somehow a zit that turned into that since a seed didn't come out?
