What's the difference in a cold sore and fever blister. I have (what looks like) a pimple on my lip. I've never had a problem before, and I'm not sure what it is. I've been putting Abreva on it, but nothing's happening.

They are the same thing, Herpes Simplex 2.

Another plausible cause would be using expired lipstick/lip gloss. That happened to me once, just a pimple for a 3 days (had a party to attend as well). I knew that it could not have been a cold sore or a fever blister, for I'm practically immune to them.
Both my mother and long-time lover have them at multiple times a year. My mom gets them more so before/after a cold/fever. My boyfriend gets after being in the sun extended periods, but never after a cold/fever. So, it has left me with the impression that there is a difference.

Abreva doesn't work as well as claimed on the commercials take L-Lysine you can get it at wal mart in the vitamin section.
