First Cold Sore
I got a cold sore for the first time last Friday. I'm not sure how I got it, but Friday was also that time of month. I'm not sexually active at all.
It started out being a tiny round blister-looking thing at the corner of my lip and I didn't know it was a cold sore at first. It wasn't noticeable when I closed my lips. Then I guess it was a cold sore, it got a little better (started scabbing) and then it got worse and spread to more than a little round thing. It's now like 1 cm wide on the corner of my lip and visible when I close my lips. It started crusting/scabbing, so I'm assuming that's a sign of it getting better?
Is there a way to help it heal faster or anything I should avoid? I've been putting chapstick/vaseline so it doesn't dry up and crack again (cause it bleeds a bit when it does).
Thanks in advance!

ok first off cold sores are just a way that the body fights infection so even they look bad there actually a good thing there accopriated with sex because you can get infection from goin down on guys and this is the way they show up by your body trying to fight them
there are some things you can buy to make it disapear faster i know abrevea is one and oragel even has a cold sore thing you can buy for them
it scabbing up dose mean that its healing and if it drys up it wont heal any faster so if you dont make it to the store to buy something else keep using the vaseline and chapstick
