Ice use is better for cold sores.
if your intention is to drain the abscess, heat. for pain relief, cold.
The cold is not really radiating from the ice. The ice is actually absorbing heat from the area surrounding it. Since the area around the ice is losing heat, a person perceives the ice as 'radiating cold'.
Ice
You know how cold air feels really good on cold sores? Yeah, that's why ice-cubes help. If you want to get rid of a cold soar including the pain, you've got to remember NOT (super emphasis on the NOT) lick your lips where you have a cold soar! And of course (whichever way you choose) get oxygen to your poor lips and use that loveable ice-cube.
A cold pack melts ice by absorbing heat from the ice, which lowers the temperature of the ice and causes it to melt. Cold packs typically contain ammonium nitrate or a similar substance that, when activated, undergoes an endothermic reaction, absorbing heat from the surroundings. This heat absorption creates a temperature difference, causing the ice to lose heat and transition from solid to liquid. As a result, the ice melts more quickly in the presence of the cold pack.
When the metal nail is in contact with the ice, heat from your hand is transferred to the metal nail, which conducts the heat to the ice. This transfer of heat results in the metal nail feeling cold in your hand. Cold is not flowing from the ice to your hand, but rather heat is being transferred from your hand to the metal nail and then to the ice.

No.
Yes and it works very well for migraines. One company has a cold pack you can buy at the drugstore just for headaches. A cold compress or cold facial mask works wonders.
because you have heat receptors underneath your skin
It is not possible to freeze ice without cold because the process of freezing involves the removal of heat energy from a substance, causing it to solidify into ice. Without cold temperatures or a means to remove heat, it is not possible to freeze water into ice.
