I've been seeing this guy on and off for a while. Went to see him yesterday, and kissed him hello like normal. N just randomly a couple of times throughout the day - then later on he's like oh yeah i had a cold sore its just going/gone. I looked - looked pretty much like dry skin to me :S obv just a little bit redder than normal - clearly I should pay more attention but how likely is it that now i've got the dreaded cold sore infection!! So not impressed at him, i'm too clueless about these things Any ideas anybody..? Just worrying that my mouth is going to errupt into them and I have no idea what the warning signs are to catch it early!!!

If it was healing, then you'll most probably be fine, but if you notice your lips getting sore, tingly or itchy, then you might have once brewing. I wouldn't worry too much - I've had them since I was tiny and have never managed to pass them on to anyone!
Thanks though, there wasn't any blistering there so thats reassuring I suppose. Hopefully I'll be ok Although if you've been coping since you were little maybe they're not as bad as my warped mind imagined?! Thanks.

Take care!
