Yesi have a bump on lower lip. i am hoping it isn't a wart. 2 doctors on here saw a lip quickly said cold sore. how can the difference be told between the two?

Not a wart: Warts and herpes (cold sore) outbreaks look entirely different. I'm sure your two doctor are correct. Also, oral warts are very rare and herpes is common.

See below: Cold sores are tender and usually resolve after a week. Warts are not painful and persist
