I appreciate the quick response, the picture that looks "flakey" began as a bump under the skin that I tried to pop but couldn't really, so the area around is little red from using BP , but you say you don't believe it's herpes from what you See?
You might want to have a herpes blood test for hsv1 as many many people have it and got it from childhood but your photos dont have appear as a herpes outbreak unless they are at the scabbing and falling off stage.
Corners of my mouth, but they are not as pronounced as the flash photos make them look.
