hmm That first picture really looks like a zit or ingrown hair. I get those all the time and they never develop into cold sores, just annoying zits.

I have had cold sores sinse childhood on both my mouth and nose. I do know what will trigger sores and can feel early signs before visual signs appear. If I take one 200mg Acyclovir before the sore appears , as soon as I get a sunburn or sick, etc. if a sore appears it is so small that I am the only one that knows it’s there. So take the Rx meds when you know you are at risk and don’t wait for the little demon materialize! I have also found that wearing lip balm or lipgloss, especially with minty stuff in them and the stuff that is out that makes your lips fuller causes outbreaks.

I’m not up on the nail polish remover deal but what I can share and what I do know that works is Lysine you can purchase it in the vitamin area of any store that has a vitamin section. Take a few of these guys with a glass of water 2x per day and you will get these nasty cold sores and fever blisters healed up fairly quick. I’ve notice if you take these each day with your other vitamins it really cuts back on the frequency of how often you get cold sores/fever blisters if you’re prone to getting them. This helped me so I hope it will help somebody else.
Thanks.
