anyone know if cold sores can appear as a single "bump" as opposed to a "cluster" as is often described in these forums?
i have two sores, one on the left side of my lower lip (on the skin not the lip itself) and a matching one on the right hand side that is running about 3 or 4 days behind the first one.
bit of pain before you see anything, looks like a pimple (white pus), popped it and it dried out and crusted over. not as big and gross as the cold sore pics online so I thought (hoped) it might be something treatable and non-contagious.
the first one is almost gone, just a small painless red mark/bump/scar (its been about a week)
