No; it can not be washed off.
No. But don't use medicines that have passed their expiry date.
That is a natural part of the healing process but you are still contagious. Up utill the cold sore is completely gone you can still pas it on. Don't touch the cold sore, if you have to wash your hands after touching it. Don't cover it with mke up, that will only aggravate the sore. Apply some cream like Abreva to the sore regulaly to help speed up the healing process.
Do not pick at the herpes blister.
To treat cold sores at home, it is important to begin treatments at the first sign of a cold sore. You may not be able to prevent them, but early treatment can drastically reduce the severity of a cold sore. Lysine supplements can help to reduce cold sores. Avoid touching them, sharing cups or utensils, or kissing another person, to avoid spreading the virus. Often, cold sores appear with other illnesses, so treat those, too.

The main thing you want to do with a cold sore is dry it out. Try not to get the area of the cold sore wet! Drying out the cold sore will make it disappear in as short a time as 3 days, and thinking that they can last 2 weeks+ that's a good time to wait. What I use to dry out a cold sore is Mouthwash! Just get a piece of kitchen/toilet paper (a clean piece of course) and put the paper (folded up to make it thicker) over the top of the mouthwash bottle and then turn it all over so the mouth wash pours on the paper cleanly. Then, hold the mouthwash soaked paper on the cold sore. Do NOT move it around or take it off for at least 1-2 minutes as this will spread the cold sore to other areas around the face. Repeat this process every 2-4 hours and the cold sore should dry out. This method of drying the cold sore out can after removal of the paper begin to sting or you may get a throbbing sensation, although the outcome is totally worth it!
Symptoms can vary from person to person. Some people get dry chapped lips, some itching, burning and or tingling symptoms aroun their lips. Then a blister or pimple occurs on or around the lips which can break into a cold sore. The sore can take a few weeks to heal and scab over.
Yes. If you are sick and your mouth is trying to fight off the germs, your mouth will create a big sore of the germs. This could happen over night and it usually does.
There is no fast way. A cold sore is caused by the herpes simplex virus and goes away with time. An over the counter treatment usually helps some, but if you pick at it or try to scrub it off you may spread it or it can become infected.
Wash it completely off by flushing the skin with copious amounts of water.. and move on... because its not that big of deal. Just wash it off because it can give you frostbite...
