    Sympathy! I got it from being a dumb teenager, but haven’t had one in over 20. Knew someone whose kids were born with it on the inside of their eyelids. shudder

      inside of their eyelids

      I cannot imagine having this in or on or around my eyes nah no way fuck that noise

      Partner gets outbreaks occasionally, no rhyme or reason, maybe 1-2 times a year? So we have cold sore cream on hand 🙌 I’ve been off The Pill for a couple of years now (so normal regular periods) and still didn’t get one until this week (I’ve heard periods can trigger them). I just wish it wasn’t on the corner of my mouth, it’s a high movement area and it’s hurts. Doesn’t help that I tried popping it when I thought it was a zit/ingrown hair 💀😬 “cold sore” wasn’t on my mind since it’s been decades since I had one 🤦‍♀️

        ‘Not on my mind’ is how I got a scar popping a zit that was actually chicken pox. Realised seconds later.
