Cold Sore And Pimple. To tell the difference between a cold sore and a pimple you should consider the location of the lesion. Therefore lets understand the difference between the two.
A pimple can occurs anywhere on your face not just on your lips. A pimple is a raised red bump while a cold sore can grow bigger. People get spots blackheads when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
Pimples arent contagious and they arent caused by any kind of virus.
A pimple is caused by the buildup of bacteria and the overproduction of oils within your pores. Pimples contain pus while cold sores contain clear fluid in blisters. But actually pimples and cold sores have very little in common. A cold sore and a pimple often look similar features and they both cause a little discomfort and pain.
