Hopefully just a spot. Highly unlikely to be a cold sore. Could be beginnings of a haemangioma ( strawberry mark). They tend to start like that at this age. It’ll get redder if it is. You can get information and advice here

unlikely to be a cold sore, most likely a spot. They get very spotty, the joys of baby acne
