just curious, can a cold sore be popped like a pimple? Does a cold sore have white puss in it at all?

I REALLY wanted you to know that you can EASILY never have to deal with another horrible, awful, nasty cold-sore for the rest of your life!!
I got them every winter my whole life until 3 years ago (I'm 36 now) and they were the BANE of my existence...the whole process took weeks to heal and would leave a scar for at least 2 months sometimes!
I was reading a message board on www.curezone.org and discovered the PERFECT remedy for both healing them and preventing them completely:
OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT
So, I buy the liquid tincture by "HerbPharm" and it has not failed me ONCE...Whenever I'm feeling drained, tired, stressed, or get that tingly feeling on my lip, I just load up on this stuff.
This is the one I buy:

You can also get Olive Leaf at Whole Foods Market, and other natural food stores.
Very cheap.
The first time I tried it, I was actually halfway into a major eruption and I drank a bunch of the extract in some water.
AS I WAS DRINKING the stuff down, I could feel the swelling on my lip shrinking...I was in such shock--I ran to the mirror--it was shrinking before my eyes and within ten minutes my lip had returned to NORMAL...I began kissing the bottle of Olive Leaf...yeah, I really did!!
I had tried everything in the past...I can't begin to tell you what I went through...and it's now been 3 YEARS since I've had one!!

Okay, I am not a medical professional, but have many years' of common-sense experience. You should never, ever squeeze a cold sore or fever blister, as this can make it worse or spread the infection; don't open it, and let it heal by itself or with medication.
After having had many of both, I can usually feel a fever blister or cold sore coming up, and can tell the difference; I assume that any such thing around my lips is a cold sore, until I know it is a pimple and can be 'popped'.

It is a pimple, whitehead thing, not a cold sore. Put some zit medication on it and make sure it don't get infected either.

No, a cold sore usually looks like an open sore. The pinples have puss, yuk.
