A member asked:
I have a open sore on lip after having irritation from a lip products. it crusts over with a yellow crust and weeps. is this something more serious than just an irritated lip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible cold sore: This may be a cold sore which is caused by the herpes virus which you would have gotten from having the chicken pox. Check with your dentist or physician when sore is present for diagnosis. There is no cure, but medications are available to shorten the length of time the lesion is present.
