    u should get swabbed or have a blood test given the fact the person who gave u oral had cold sore its better to get checked it might turn out to be from friction or something benign but better to be safe

      he had felt one coming on, but it never really turned into a cold sore. he wasnt aware that it could still spread without a visible cold sore 😕

    Yes it does look like herpes. I only had one sore with my first outbreak in 2016 and have not had an outbreak since.
