A member asked:

For 2 days i had pain on my lip, white puss formed and a white bead came out but now it's crusting like pictures of a cold sore? what is it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lip lesion: The most likely diagnosis is herpes simplex(cold sore) in view of the evolution of a crusting appearance. Ask your pharmacist for an over the counter cream to apply, but if you prefer a more definitive diagnosis and, if it's a herpes, a prescription can be given for antivirus acyclovir or valtrex (valacyclovir).
