A member asked:

Can oral herpes/cold sores show up just as a small, dry patch of slightly reddened skin by corner of mouth? i feel like my lips have felt weird and i have a small, pink dry patch by my lip?

This is very unlikely to be herpes, but herpes outbreaks can have atypical appearances. If it lasts more than a few days without change in appearance or clearing up entirely, for sure it isn't herpes.
