A member asked:
I believe to have a cold sore on my lip and it's just filled with pus. do i drain it? then add a mixture of salt and rubbing alcohol?

Pus Filled Lesion: Cold sores are not filled with pus. You Most likely have an acne bump on your lip. If you try to manipulate the pustule you can cause an infection and inflammation. See your dermatologist for treatment.
