Is this a cold sore?!

Help!
I have a big date (Wink) tomororw and I’ve just noticed my lip looks like this! Lip was swollen with a hard, metal tasting lump on one side. I assumed I was allergic to something so had piritom. I’ve just noticed that it’s now raw looking and still tastes of metal. No tingling or pain. I’m still holding out hope I’ve not managed to catch them! If it is a cold sore does anyone have any advice before I can get to a chemist tomorrow afternoon?
(Sorry for scribbling our my teeth... weirdly self conscious of them)

I could be an ulcer . Cold sores normally start with a tingling sensation .

It just looks more like a split lip to me, due to the cold weather. Vaseline would help.
The taste you describe sounds like how blood tastes.
