Q: Cold Sores or skin irritation
asked by: PseudZ on June 19th, 2008

I recently got a pimple type of thing on the side of my mouth, it isn't sore just a bit tight like dry skin would be.. it isn't raised or anything but looks like a cut or so.. it started appearing after i shaved on Monday then Tuesday it was there. It seems to be going down since Tuesday though
Could it be a cold sore? Or a skin irritation? I thought it was a pimple so tried to pop it

Thanks

Your pictures are too bad to diagnose your skin lesion.
If appeared after shaving it could be some skin irritation complicated with infection.
Can you send me better photos?
