Let us talk about the confidence side

We focus a lot on the physical, but a cold sore at the wrong moment, a date, a photo, a big meeting, can knock your confidence hard. That part does not get talked about enough. If you are comfortable, share a moment it got in the way, and how you handled it. No judgement here.

Reflected sun is underrated as a trigger, learned that the hard way.

How long after the first tingle do you usually have before it shows?

Saving this. The morning habit is the part I keep forgetting.

Great thread, learning a lot here.

Never knew lips had almost no natural sun defence. That explains so much.

Thank you for saying it is a prevention problem. I spent years just reacting to them.
