Single blister on lip, not sure if cold sore.

2 days ago a pimple/blister appeared on my upper lip. Thinking it was just a pimple (not even realizing it could be a cold sore since i've never had one in my entire life) i popped it and applied disinfecting creme (pimples on lips a reoccurring thing in my family, they've just never happened to me).

It just occurred to me that it could be a cold sore and started doing some research.

I'm still not sure if it is cold sore because it was just a single tiny blister that appeared out of nowhere and cold sore usually come as multiple blisters and can be predicted by a itchy feeling preceding the blisters.

I've posted some pictures taken today on different times and in different lights.

Do you people think it is a cold sore and should i be worried because i popped it?

(some images are mirrored because i took them with the face camera.)
