The first sign of a cold sore is a tingling, burning or itching. This is followed by swelling and redness. Within 24 to 48 hours, one or more tiny blisters (âfever blistersâ) appear. These blisters pop and form painful sores (âcold soresâ). The sores eventually are covered by crusts, which look like scabs.
