You ARE special!: All of us are unique and special! No two people are alike and that goes for our illnesses too. Cold sores can appear in different forms in different people. If it's gone, great! Avoid chapped lips and sun exposure. (Lips don't tan, and sunburned and chapped lips can trigger fever blisters). Wear lip protection with high SPF and re-apply often (at least hourly) in the sun. Keep lips moist.
