Thanks for the web page, but I asked my doctor if it could be herpes and
he said that these sores look nothing like a herpes blister would look
like. That they are to big and they are not even a blister, it just
looks like a scrape. Is it possible that I have torn the skin away. I
might need to go see another doctor.
