It is a cold sore, caused by HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus). The other person who answered is correct, in that 80% of people have been exposed. If you have had only one break out, I would not worry. If it happens again, call your family practice doctor and ask for a prescription for Valtrex (2g 2x/day for 1day). It is the strongest antiviral out there and works more quickly than anything else (an obligate chain terminator that halts the virus 100% of the time). Over-the-counter creams, etc. only improve healing by 1/2 a day so they are a waste of money. If you start taking Valtrex at the first time you feel the cold sore coming (usually a tingling or itching around the mouth), roughly 20% of the time you can avoid the outbreak altogether. If it is still bad now, you can call for Valtrex tomorrow. You can pass the virus on when you kiss, so you may want to hold off kissing anyone until it is healed, especially children.

Could be a pimple, could be what most people call a cold sore or
A cold sore can be quite painful while pimples not so much.
A cold Sore is casued by the herpes virus. Yes you mighthave herpes - it is usually type 1 herpes.
Something like 80% of the Population have this virus running amoke in our bodies. Most of the time it does nothing - just sits around waiting .
Other times it becomes active and often creates sores near or at the site where you were infected.
All kinds of info on the internet on Herpes and cold sores

its nto that big but i would put diffrent kinds of products on it because it sound like it really hurts and i had to go to a party, but i dont think that u can make it go away in 2 day but i might get smaller, but for now or when ur at school u should put coverup up on it so no1 can see it, hope it goes away
ps it dont look like herpes so dont thinkthat
