All the symptoms of a cold sore (inflammation with pus coming out, then yellow scabbing and healing with 1-2 weeks), however the test for herpes simplex was negative. What can it be else?
I dont know if what I have is a cold sore. If it is, its pretty close to healed because its flat and theres no more scabbing. But it never hurt so Im not sure it was a cold sore, and I want to be safe and not give my bf herpes if I kiss him.
When is a cold sore no longer contagious? I know herpes is always there but when is a lesion "safe"? Is it after the scab has fallen off?
