Q: if a cold sore leaks to another part of your lip, will a new blister appear?

: Not usually. The virus causing the cold sore is already around your mouth in a latent form. Whatever caused one sore can also precipitate other cold sores. If it is interfering with daily living, your doctor may consider anti-viral medication.
