hard to tell from the photo.

yeah swab said it wasnt. I did a blood test and have HSV1 which came as a shock.
Sounds positive what your doc has said.

Update! just got back from the doctors and they said its definitely not herpes. just an artificial sore from shaving to much. still got tested tho for peace of mind.
