Oral herpes: Oral herpes outbreaks can't clear in only 2 days without anti-herpes treatment like acyclovir or valacyclovir; "day two it's gone" suggests something else. Maybe just a pimple or some sort of skin cyst? The HSV1 blood test isn't perfect and misses some infections, and culture also misses many cases; PCR (i.e. a DNA test) is better. All things considered, probably not herpes. See a dermatologist.
