Cold sores typically appear around the mouth and on the lips. First you feel a tingle or soreness on the skin, then the area swells and the skin will become red. Shortly afterwards small blisters appear, containing a clear liquid. The blisters will burst or be covered by a crust within a week. Eventually, the crust falls off, and leaves new skin without scarring.
