I don't what this is but I'm suspecting it's a cold sore. It's like a bump on my lower lips and really hard. I just got it out of nowhere, it's small as of now but it hurts. I don't know what to do with this. Ideas or suggestions?

not sure? use abreva. because if it is, at least you got to it so it would go away sooner

hard? my cold sore is like a water bump... you pop it and it will burst... apply bonjela cold sore cream... it helps..

My highschool biology teacher always recommended your own personal ear wax as a cure. Tried it... didn't really work. Try Abreva, and if it continues longer, get prescription meds from the doc.

my parents tell me to put salt on it... it really hurts, but it works for awhile..

i'm an expert at getting rid of coldsores >: D

ok.
since yours isn't a full out coldsore yet, just go out and buy some abreva or aveeno's cold sore treatment. both work fairly well. abreva, you usually have to use before it goes all out coldsore and aveeno is better with getting rid of a coldsore that's already 'blossomed'.

DO NOT TOUCH IT.
IT WILL GET BIGGER.

and whatever you do, if it gets bigger, do not pop it without care.
if you spread around the pus, more coldsores will come and it'll all cluster and look a mess.
if it does get bigger, apply rubbing alcohol on it.
this will make it dry out, which is what you need to do.
and then apply aveeno. : D

yay

Eep whatever you do, DO NOT touch it and DO NOT pop it! (It won't be pretty).
You could use some medication ointments like suggested above, but without that, it usually goes away within a week or two. When it starts getting dry and ready to crack, make sure you keep it moist (lotion works, but if you had some sort of soothing ointment - that'd be better. Or even vaseline). Otherwise, it'll crack and bleed and you won't be very happy. hehe
Also eat lots of vitamin C. Get lots of rest and sleep. Eat healthy. It'll help it go away sooner (hopefully).

HERPES !
haha, coldsores, I've never had one, but you shouldn't touch it, It'll just agitate it.
NEVER try to pop it, unless you want to see something not so pretty ha.
Yeah, herpes, gods way of testing your patients.
