A member asked:
If a cold sore leaks to another part of your lip, will a new blister appear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
