If you also have a pimple that looks like a cold sore or vice versa, and wound want to know the difference between the 2, then this article will help you out. I will also give you some the best tips for curing cold sores. To start with, Cold sores you usually break open. Abreva, Valtrex and Acyclovir are options, however the problems is it takes time to heal. For a cold sore to heal faster it needs to dry out. A friend of mine recommended this great product and it actually dried out the sore within 10 minutes and started to scab (which is the healing process). The product works great. You should consider it.

Cold sores (HERPES SIMPLEX 1) itches and then burns a bit and never comes to a head. It gets pus filled and hurts like a wound after a day or 2.Get ABREVA...it works for me. Cold sore blisters usually break open, weep clear fluid, and then crust over and disappear after a few days. A pimple would have puss in it (and be white) not fluid filled

Try using a hot compress to open the 'pimple' I'd say it's a cold sore- head to the drug store for some things to treat it. A pimple usually opens or heals in about 24-36 hours once it forms a head.

Other cold sore symptoms may include:


A sore mouth that makes eating, drinking, and sleeping uncomfortable. Cold sores can be painful.


A fever.


A sore throat.


Swollen lymph nodes in the neck.

L-lysine pills would be a good investment for you if you get these type sores often, or the ones inside the mouth, called cankers. However, I would use the Carmex for a couple of days and see if that clears it up.

Other Best Tips for Curing Cold Sores I would say this: If you have Camphophenique or camphor oil on hand, use it first to stop the pain. Then apply the Carmex. Drink lots of water, eat lots of fiber foods (oatmeal, raw or steamed veggies), leave off sugar and that will speed the detoxification of your body. Elderberries and Red Marine Algae also kill the virus that causes cold sores
