Herpes simplex: Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Most cold sores can result on their own but the symptoms can last up to a week and can cause significant discomfort. You can get some Zovirax ointment from the pharmacy or you can visit the doctor to get some antiviral tablets

See a dermatologist: When you call, indicate that it is acute and requires immediate evaluation.
