You can try lysine but if that doesn't help then you may want to see your doctor and talk to them about antiviriral medication and to make sure that it's a cold sore.

Why are there no scars left after a cold sore?
A cold sore is caused by the herpes simplex virus and will generally clear up in time. I did have one student in my classroom who kept picking at a cold sore and now has a scar in that area.
Is it better to blow my nose when I have a cold?
Yes. All the snot you produce with a cold is all the fluid in your body. Where normally without a cold it would just be dirty bacteria building up and so on. Blowing your nose constantly wouldn't blow the virus out, it would just end up making your nose really sore. Just rest and take as much med as you can to help you feel better. A cold isn't curable, but it's handable. Just allow your body to do what it has to do.

How can you cover up a cold sore with makeup?
I wouldn't suggest covering up a Cold Sore with makeup, that can just irritate it and make it worse, and last longer. perhaps even scar. Unless, of course, you have special make up that has certain minerals and vitamins that is good for your skin and was recommended by your dermatologist. I would suggest Blistex medicated lip ointment, it will get rid of a nasty cold sore in as little as half a day and as long as three days, if applied religiously. trust me on this, I had had to use it many times when I had braces.
