Alexa asked:


i’m going to sound like an idiot, but i dont know if I have a cold sore or a canker sore. If this helps its a red bump, it looks just like a pimple.

Give me ways to get rid of both, warnings, tips, etc.
Also, tell me how long it will probably take before it goes away.

If this helps, I pick at it sometimes. I’ve kind of stopped though.

    Cold Sores are a form of herpes that never goes away. there is medicine but it only causes it to go dormant.

    If it burns it’s a cold sore, use Zilactin. If it hurts especially when you squeeze it’s a pimple, pop it.

    If it looks like a pimple it’s probably a pimple. Put a dab of a green clay mask on it over night, white toothpaste, or pimple creme.

    The sore do not try to pop either like you might pimple or lemon juice directly on the sore it will sting little baking soda or ask the sore lemon juice directly on the pharmacist at your local walgreens or cvs about treatment options.
