Apply whatever cold sore cream you are using as soon as the tingle is felt. This stops it getting out of control.

compeed are really good so is zovirax

i get them lots and the best thing is if you suspect one is coming start a cream straight away

zovorax works well . .

Chemist own clod sore cream from the day and night or the patchers are good too

HI again I found the name it is Dynamiclear… Compeed also works. Good luck

Tea tree oil is a very good product to use for cold sores,it also has numerous other uses like for athletes foot which Tea tree oil works very well it can also be used for cuts. There is now a cold sore patch available from your local supermarket they also work well

The salt paste is new to me, I’ll remember that one.

didn’t know about l-lysine I will have to look into getting some of that!

Zovirax is great for cold sores.

L-Lysine fights virus that causes cold sores, you can find this at herbal stores, they recommend taking about . \500 mg twice a day, also garlic intake helps (get garlic tablets if you don’t have enough garlic in your diet). Also a friend swears by putting salt directly on cold-sore and holding it there for about 3 minutes, helps cold-sore heal much faster.

Putting ice on the lip the minute tingling can be felt can help as can alcohol (e.g. vodka). Toothpaste (and letting it dry) can sometimes help when there is already a coldsore. Or a paste of salt. You can also try to make sure the lips do not get too dry in between break outs as this can cause breakouts.

I would recommend a natrepath

Cold sores often come up when your immune system is down. When you start feeling really run down take a few extra vitamins to boost you back up! If that fails Zovirax or Chemists own cold sore cream works a treat!

I recently read a good tip for cold sore’s, I’ve never had to deal with them so didn’t take much notice but I’ll try and find it and get back to you.
