ugh if it is a cold sore you want to be careful not to spread it. one thing you can do is put an ice cube on it so it will stop any swelling, and it should stop the growth of it. the next thing you will want to do is dry it up with alcohol and then the last thing is to keep it mosturized this has to be done with chapstick applied with a q-tip, regular chapsticks can cause it to spread. and seriously if it is just a pimple this won't hurt it at all. if you do this correctly it should be gone quickly, i don't know if it'll be soon enough for christmas but you do have a week left. good luck

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Use of commercial over the counter medicines such as abreva will help significantly. It will work on both a pimple or a cold sore

You can go to Rite-Aid and buy balm for cold sores. Then use some concealer to hide it until it goes away.

if it's dry its probably a cold sore but i would really be guessing. carmex is really good for cold sores and it's normally at any store.

If it itches and burns, it is a cold sore.
