If it's a blocked pore, it's turned very nasty indeed. It's not a little head with a red fan around it, it's a big visible pus bubble with a tiny red edge around it. (I'd post a picture, but he's already gone to bed.) Definitely isn't a food thing, he's still eating the same 15-ish foods he's been eating for the last 4 months. If it's a bug bite or a cut, it happened overnight and was infected by morning, because the pus bubble was the first thing we saw.

Eh, whatever. Nothing I can do about it, regardless (except maybe not let him kiss me until it's healed... ew.)

Sorry didn't read this properly before. this sounds totally like an infected blocked pore or similar. i.e. a zit. they're not unique to teeneagers. And yes, they can appear quickly. Are herpes sores really pus-filled? ew!

I've got an Asian medicine possible answer, but that would be too difficult to explain so I won't make an attempt.

But from your description, it sounds like an infected blocked pore or a bug bite. I've got a remedy for cold sores, drink vitamin B. Don't know why that helps heal cold sores, but it does.
