That sounds really bad. Maybe you should put on more moisturizing cream the next time you go to such places. I am not sure if this will help but I come across with this website a while ago. You might want to check the source out I have given.
Hope you will get rid of your cold sores really fast.

I had been trying to figure out the answer to this question my whole teenage life. I now know how to prevent cold sores, I haven't had one in 2 years and I used to get them monthly.
- I was using Valtrex, but decided to stop taking it because it can damage your liver with prolonged use. There is usually a better answer than taking a pill for your problems. Ask your doctor about Valtrex. It can be taken upon the first symptoms and it DOES work. It pretty much melts the cold sore away in a day or so, if not preventing it from forming in the first place.
- Health food stores sell a powdered amino acid L-Lysine. This is what they believe people are lacking in their diet and makes them prone to cold sores. You just take some every morning, mix it in your juice.
For me, I just improved my diet and take a multivitamin everyday. Also, find a way to reduce stress, as stress can lower your immunity and make you prone to outbreaks.
Wear a lip balm with sunscreen. Prevent dry lips from sun or wind.
No matter what, once you have a cold sore there really is no way to make it go away faster. Do not pick at it. I find it is best to let it dry out. Some lip balms keep it moist and can allow it to grow. I've found an effective ingredient to look for is Benzoin. I've found this works best:
