A member asked:

Can a zit on the corner or your mouth crust over when it's healing? it had a white head and popped so i assume its not herpes but i am still worried.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes but....: The other possibilities are like you suggested herpes as well as impetigo (staph infection). Try applying triple antibiotic for 2-3 days. If its not better or if its spreading, see your dermatologist.
