"Fester like a sore" is a metaphor that describes a situation or emotion that worsens over time if not addressed. Just as an untreated sore can become infected and increasingly painful, unresolved feelings, conflicts, or issues can grow more intense and damaging. This phrase often suggests the importance of confronting problems before they escalate.
