Honestly, hiding it with makeup often makes the infection worse or delays the healing. I always go to Apollo hospital and get it checked by a specialist who prescribes the proper ointment. Please ask your doctor clearly before putting any heavy cosmetics on an open blister.
I completely understand how stressful this is, especially when you have to go out and feel like everyone is staring at your face. I used to get so anxious and panic thinking it would never go away. Just try to breathe, use a tiny speck of patches designed for cold sores, and remember it looks way bigger to you than to anyone else.
These fever blisters usually pop up when our immunity is low or when we are under a lot of stress. I have to manage my blood pressure daily, so I know how important rest and regular checkups are. Don't just try to hide it; focus on getting good sleep, keeping your diet simple, and letting the body heal.
You can try those specialized hydrocolloid cold sore patches which are virtually invisible and cover it up perfectly. I keep track of my stress and sleep cycles on my Apple Watch, and I notice these breakouts happen whenever my recovery scores are low. Keep it clean and track your triggers so you can prevent them next time.
I feel your pain, these blisters are so annoying and painful. I tried putting everything from toothpaste to ice, but honestly, keeping it dry and applying a little fresh aloe vera gel at night works best. To step out, just use a tiny bit of skin-colored medicinal zinc cream which helps soothe it while camouflaging the redness.
Bro, trying to hide it with cream or powder just makes it look dry and flakey. I had one last month before a presentation and just used a bit of non-greasy lip balm to keep it soft so it didn't crack. Don't pick at it, otherwise it leaves a bad scar and takes double the time to heal.
I am no expert, but whenever I get these, I avoid putting any heavy makeup on top because it always flares up. I just let it heal naturally and try to wear a mask if I am going to crowded places. It saves me the trouble of trying to cover it up with creams.
I get it, it is so uncomfortable. Just use a small cold sore patch from the chemist, it covers it safely.
