I have had cold sores since I was little. I usually get them twice a year and kind of spaced out. Usually during something stressful or a big event in my life. I just got one near the fourth of July and I usually know when I'm getting one. I don't think this sore on my mouth is a cold sore, but it does look very similiar to one. It has been on my lip for almost a week now. I'm just wondering if you could get a sore on your lip simply from kissing too much.
