If it is a cold sore try a Abreva & take lysine tablets. Maybe, try tree tea oil that is good for cold sores or pimples. Personally, I dislike Carmex for cold sores they tend to make mine worse :(

Yes it is a cold sore, early stages:( I have never had one on my nose before either. I read that in your twentys you get cold sores that just pop up out of nowhere

Buy some L-Lysine vitamins. They are known to help cold sores

This really helps heal my cold sores quickly, you can find it at Walmart or any drugstore : Campho-Phenique

Using only Blistex doesn't help dry my cold sores, I use Campho Phenique and blistex together for better results.

Cold sores are the herpes simplex virus. Has nothing to do with age, has to do with whether or not you carry the virus.

Abreva works but you need to apply it within the first signs of a cold sore

Put ice on it for 10 minutes 4 times a day. Apply abreva on it and at night put tooth paste on it. Paste not gell. It will dry it up. Then put carmax on your lip to prevent bleeding and peeling .

If its still in the early stages, what I do, I wet a RED tipped match, no other color, and hold it on there for a little bit. it starts to burn and you know its working. afterwards I usually take the watch off, don't rinse, and cover with campho phenique. I do it a few times a day and it works miracles. it sounds weird, but it works for me.

How is it on the nose? Maybe it's a pimple. Try persa gel if its a pimple.... Upload a pic maybe we can help determine if its a cold sore or pimple

Cold sores can be on the lip around the lip or nose.

I use compeed cold sore patches which I find great. They're clear and easy to apply but best of all you can put makeup over them.
