Either wait them out or take expensive antiviral drugs. Take your pick.

What's the difference between a coldsore and a canker sore?

coldsore is herpes virus, canker sore is just an ulcer.

How do you tell one from the other? I've had little sores before but since I was a child. I doubt it's coldsores.

Canker sores occur inside your mouth - on the gums and stuff.
Coldsores occur outside - on your lips or around the mouth area.

That's what I've been told since... forever.

Ive been suffering from these nasty fuckers since childhood. I use the antiviral creams but they don't do a great deal unless you get it on when you first feel the tingle, which is usually when i'm asleep. My last coldsore however, I scored some vitamin tablets formulated to fight coldsores which mostly contained zinc and lysine. BRILLIANT! Best coldsore i've ever had. Coincidence perhaps? I doubt it.

After you get them, there is very little you can do. However, you can usually tell before you get them by redness and itchy tingling on your lip or wherever.
If you can catch them at this state do the following.

Go to your doctor and get him to prescribe you Valtrex. It's anti-herpes medication and it's effective because cold sores are caused by the presence of the herpes simplex virus (not the other kind of genital herpes which are different).

A valtrex presciption is generally 6 pills
You take 3 right away and another 3 after 12 hours.

They are POWERFUL fucking pills. And goddamn expensive (about $10/pill if you don't have insurance). If you take these when you see the redness/tingling, there is a good chance you won't get them at all.

But like I said, after they come out, there is very little you can do except wait them out and clean your face regularly to minimize the chance they spread to other areas of your face.

Ulcers look like blisters.

Coldsores can look quite dry, scabbed almost.

After they come out, topical acyclovir would probably help a little, but not much. FYI, oral herpes is caused by HSV-1, genital by HSV-2, Valtrex treats both.

Also canker sores are genetic and can't spread. Some people if they get a cut or an abrasian(sp.) it will canker over. Sometimes stress causes it, while cold sores are part of the herpes simplex virus and usually occur on the outer lip.
