cold sores

just made out with 2 girls last night, woke up with what i think is a cold sore. its probably just a mark from the making out. im on ly 19 and so are the girls, so i doubt its herpes..plus cold sores dont appear instantly right?

Hey, you probably have a medical department in your college or school, go and ask, it's probably free. I doubt it's herpes that fast, more like timing of cold sores and making out got you paranois. Think about about getting cold several days before making out.

19 year olds can't have the herpes virus?

It takes much longer to get the cold sore than that. You will start with an initial low-grade fever most likely.

Fever Blisters and the Herpes Simplex Virus
Fever blisters are caused more often by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) than herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). As a matter of fact, more than 85 percent of the world's population has been infected with HSV-1. These infections follow the usual course of herpes simplex virus infections in that the first outbreak is usually more painful and lasts longer than recurrent infections.

No big deal.

umm you never had a cold sore before?

It might not be them, you could have caught it 6 months ago and it just now appeared due to either stress, low immune, physical activity, exposure to sun or wind.

Go get some cold sore ointment from your local drug store. If you take care of it, it will be gone within 3-5 days.

If anything you probably gave them a future cold sore.....

look up canker sores...if you were up all night you may have run down your immune system, which makes you more vulnerable to 'em.

There's a product called Coloidal (sp?) Silver, in liquid form. Whenever I see/feel a cold sore start to form, I put a few drops on it, and within half a day it has disappeared completely. Everytime guaranteed, no sh!t.
