What Causes Fluid Filled Blister On The Nose?
Question: Hi there, was wondering if someone can help me ease my mind a bit.
I have cold sore..the first time I had it was a blister noticeable size that was fill with clear fluid. That was about 5 months ago.
Just yesterday morning I saw a red pointy pin sized raised dot (hard to see). So I popped it..and I want to say there could be clear or yellow fluid.
So today I still see a pointy red pin sized but in the centre it's a blackish/browish dot in centre.
Kind of like when you squeezed out the black head on your nose it leaves a tiny tiny hole.
could that be a cold sore?
it's a bit itchy, but not all the time. If it is a cold sore I would just know right? It would be a blister filled with clear fluid with a size that's noticeable like the first time I had it.
actually I'm not sure if it was pointed or not...i think it was...it was too tiny to tell. But i do know it was pretty hard when I touched without pressure with the qtip. And when I pressed it down it was pretty hard I had to pressed it with pressure to pop it...
Please help thank you

quite frankly I'm tired of going to doctors I went to..they are not much of a help. Couple of them made me felt even more anxious...
now...my other question is that...if it is a cold sore I would know right? It would be a blister filled with clear fluid which was what I had it the first time.
I'm concerned because I'm reading on internet, and I see these people writing how some cold can be so tiny you don't even notice it
