Is this a coldsore?

Hi there. I'm new and recently noticed a scab looking thing on my chin. It is sometimes itchy and tingly, but I don't pick at it. I googled pictures of cold sores and it sort of looks like one, expect it seems to have sort of skipped the stage where it is an open wound and was just a pimple and now scab. I've linked a picture (the "cold sore" is not the pimple directly under my lip.Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong place. :-)

Thanks for the answer! Could you look at the link to the picture? (Or did you already look at it?) I want to be sure it's not a cold sore....

From your description it does not sound like a cold sore. Sounds like a pimple
