There is nothing in a cold sore to "pop". It is not acne, it does not have pus in the center of it. It is a cluster of highly irritated nerve endings that have been infected with a very localized virus. Go to your local pharmacist and ask for their recommendation of a good over-the-counter product to help make it hurt less. It should also help it dry up sooner. When you get the first tingling sensation that you know means you have a cold sore starting, take a daily dosage of Vitamin C and take it until it the cold sore is gone. Vitamin C helps you heal quicker.
Answer
If the cold sore persists, have it checked by your Doctor. If it is anywhere else than your face, definitely do so. Lysine, an over the counter product, is used for preventing and treating cold sores.
