Cold sores are very common, specially if you are having some stress in your life or you’re not drinking enough water, just use any chapstick, over the counter, abreva can help as well, it does not go away please consult with your primary care physician. Hope you fell better soon !!

This may be related to a herpes infection which can be treated. There are over the counter treatments to heal lesions as well.
