Actually you sound like you have a skin blister, not a cold sore although they do look alike.
For blister dab several times a day A good old remedy is to dab a spot of 50/50 Water and Detal (First aid disenfectant) on the sore. Be gone in a couple of days!
Otherwise you have herpies so see this web site for help:

- I had a cold sore last week and bought this stuff at Wal-mart called Campho-Phenique. It's in a yellow tube, cheaper than abreva, and it makes the cold sore dry up in no time. Within two days it was gone! You could give it a try...I know how it is to get those things...they get VERY annoying!
