Cold sore is also a skin problem which is
sometimes misjudged as a pimple. But, the reality is that they are two
totally different problems which happen because of different causes.
Does a cold sore look like a pimple because people confuse cold sore as
pimple. Cold sores generally occur on side of the lips or on the lips.
But, sometimes it may affect chin, nostril and also fingers.
The symptoms of cold sore are that our lips or sides of it starts
tingling. After two-three days a red blister is what you can see on your
lips. This is cold sore. It is a contagious diseases caused by a virus
called herpes simplex. This problem usually appears at the time of
mensuration. It takes almost ten days for cold sore to disappear.
Usually cold sores disappear on their own without any treatment. But,
you could consult a doctor to relieve yourself from pain in the
meantime. Also, avoid sharing food with people suffering from cold sores.
On
the other hand, pimple is a form of acne. Though it also appears as a
red blister filled with puss, reasons behind its occurrence are
completely diverse. Pimples could be caused by hormonal problems,
imbalanced diet, stress and deficiency of vitamins. Many treatments and
medications claim to cure pimples, but there is not much success
expected. Pimples take time to clear off. Still, there is no particular
acne treatment available to control acne. Natural treatment and home
remedies are considered as the best ways to deal with pimples.
Though
cold sores and pimples appear to be same, the reasons behind the problem
are different and the ways to cure them are also diverse.
