A member asked:
My boyfriend has 4-6 little bumps on the side of his lip he says they don't hurt but we are concerned it could be a cold sore do cold sores always hurt?

Usually: Yes, they usually do. However, what you describe may not be a 'cold sore' and may simply be benign mucous cysts. Should have your doctor take a look at them for more accurate evaluation.
