These can be sore but are also quite easy to treat without seeing the doctor as there are special creams you can buy to eradicate cold sores such as zovirax.
It usually last from between 7-10 days and fades if untreated but can heal quicker with creams and gels. However, if you are worried it may be something else or it has not healed after 10 days then the best thing to do would be to seek advice from a doctor as they would be able to advise you more accurately having examined the spot for you.
