Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Cold sores actually occur due to infection with a herpes virus. These viruses stay dormant in the nerve endings and whenever there is a drop in immunity (as in case of cough and cold) the sore manifest. It is not a cause of concern but may indeed be bothersome.
The white pus and slight amount of blood however does not seem to speak in favor of cold sores. Rather, they are more likely to be due to infections of sebaceous glands (oil secreting glands that produce the cheesy substance) getting infected (commonly called acne).
I would insist you to upload an image of the pimples on your jawline. Based on your inputs I would guide you further.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
