Do You Break Out into Weird Sores?

I am grateful for my body. I have always been healthy, everything works the way it's supposed to, and I'm not deformed or anything like that.

One thing my body does do is break out into cold sores. Usually they're on my lips, but sometimes they venture out onto my nose, under my nostrils, and my personal favorite, on my cheeks just under my eyes. Nasty.

Usually they're a result of stress, but sometimes I get them from being sick (like the ones I'm enjoying right now).



I got these huge ones while I was stressing over finals and wedding plans back in 2007. They showed up on the same day as a surprise bridal shower that my scrapbook store peeps threw for me. Lovely.

But the winner of all cold sores was the one I got on our honeymoon.

Sad. At least it was heart-shaped.

That is unfortunate. Krissy gets them really bad, too. They seem so painful. The one by your eye doesn't look like a sore, just a red mark. And you look just like Whitney in that third picture.

I love your suit on your cruise. :)

thanks for the laugh! seriously though, I didn't know you could get cold sores in other areas not your mouth.
"Atleast it was a heart" That's great!

ps, I thought that was Whitney too in the 3rd pic. Sorry Whitney. :)
