Dry lips - a bump - now open wounds
Hi!
I had really, really dried lips and I tried putting so much stuff on them to get them moist and finally I was able to but then there was dead skin on my lips that I picked off and kept licking it. After I doing that, I got a bump on my bottom lip on Monday and it went into an open sore...I don't remember it oozing and by Thursday it started to scab. Does this sound like a cold sore?
I do get cold sores but always in the same place (the corner of my lip). I only have gotten sun poison once on my bottom lip and every time I get too much sun it's like the sun poison comes back. Anyways, what is happening happened after I picked the dry skin off my lips and kept licking them.

you can get cold sores anywhere in the lip , nose or chin area. they won't always come back at the same exact place though most folks do have their usual areas that they get them in.
Your bf has hsv1 orally himself so odds are you didn't give him hsv1 genitally but should he notice any genital symptoms in the next few weeks, he should see his provider for proper testing.

Also, I believe there was only 3 blisters (not in cluster) apart from each other and bigger than a pimple exactly in the areas that I licked my lips.
Is it true that cold sores usually appear in the same spot?
They don't hurt, only when I picked at them and they didn't itch. The bump did itch but I don't remember tingling.
They have only leaked blood. I did get that yellowish film over right before the scab but I assume that's just the scab forming.
I'm really concerned because (I had oral sex with my BF - who did have a cold sore at time during our relationship) I really thought these sores were from me licking my chapped, irritated lips and when someone said I had cold sores, I started to second guess...they don't feel like my normal cold sores and they seemed to heal pretty quick.
