No, bio is not leveling. Not sure if this it what was causing Gabe's problem or not. It's different but related to the other herpes. People inveted names like cold sore and fever blister because no one wants to say "I have some herpes on my lips!".
ok if hes not leveling then .. well.. hes being a retard. You can get cuts, which if irritated, can be kind of sore like and not have herpes. This is a specific problem that happens in the corner of your mouth because its prone to getting these small cuts... I dont think theres corner-of-the-mouth herpes...
he's not being a retard. it could be something like chapped lips or it could very well be herpes. pretty much everyone is latently infected with HSV1. you can get sores anywhere in the oral cavity or around the mouth including the nose, cheeks, eyes, etc but lesions on the lips are the common.
