Sorry hun they are the same thing. The name cold sore is supposed to lessen the stigma of having oral herpes.
The good thing is they are nothing bad to have, they don't do any thing else besides cause an annoying sore / blisters, they are also very common to have. FYI they can be passed to the mouth with out ever having any thing to do with sex. When they break out it's often a sign that you're run down, have been out in the sun or cold weather fot too long, or stressed out by some thing.

Cold sores and canker sores are not the same.
No. I have canker sores and have never kowingly given some one canker sores. Canker sores are not caused by the same thing that causes cold sores and as far as I know they are not contagious. But to be on the safe side avoid kissing this person until their canker sores go away.
The two sores can usually be distinguished visually and there are specific diagnostic tests for herpes infection.
Canker sores an cold sores are not the same thing. Oral herpes is caused by a contagious virus. Cold sores can cause a lot of discomfort or pain and they affect the out side of the mouth.

Nope. Cold sores are though.
Sores inside the mouth are called canker sores.

FYI canaker sores are not related to oral herpes (the virus that causes cold sores). See related link for some remedies.
A canker sore can be caused by many things. See the related link for more information on canker sores inside the mouth.
Outbreaks of multiple canker sores can and do occur (in contrast to the classic single ulcer form). Usually the total number of canker sores that will form at one time will be six or fewer. If multiple canker sores do develop they tend to be widely distributed throughout the person's mouth (as opposed to being clustered together).
There really isn't a difference, sunblisters are just a prettier name for cold sores. If the blisters come with symptoms like itching, burning and or tingling symptoms then they could be cold sores or fever blisters. Cold sores can be triggered to break out when you're out in the sun for long periods of time.
