A member asked:
I'm not sure whether i have a cold sore or a zit on my bottom lip. i didn't notice it until after it popped up, but i'm still a little worried. ?

Cold sore: A cold sore will develop a clear cyst, no puss. If the the cyst you popped had puss it was most likely a pimple. Also, cold sores usually occur at the same basic location over and over.
