It tingles too. I've been able to prevent mine from forming into a full cold sore by using prescription Zovirax on a Q tip cotton swab frequently throughout the day as soon as I see and feel one. Don't kiss anyone near the lips, share drinks or eating utensils during this time, and wash your hands very good after treating it. Also wash your hands BEFORE going to the bathroom. If you're sexually active, don't involve your mouth until it clears up. It looks like a pimple that’s just starting to form. It tingles too.

The bump might look like a blister. If you get cold sores often, talk to your doctor about the best treatment for them, which I think is the prescription medication Valtrex.
