mine doesnt look anything like those pics...

if cold sores only happen on the outside then i guess what i had was a cold sore, but there was no cluster, just one, and it doesnt really look like the pictures at all. it kinda looks like the last pic on day 1 but it was not as severe. maybe cause i attacked it with Iodine right away.

yesterday i only put Iodine on it once and boy did it sting, it stung enough to not want me to put more on before bed!!!

the thing is, this sore has really been a walk in the park. no pain, just really anoying on day one when it was huge. after that it flatten right out and really i almost dont notice it at all. today i just have a bit of dead skin on top of it, which i wont try to remove since its not loose yet. this thing will be gone in no time!
