Multiple Coldsores

3 replies

RoomForASmallOne · 02/01/2013 11:23

I have an outbreak of cold sores on and around my mouth.
Usually happens once every couple of years but never this bad.
No 'tingling' feeling before they erupted so over the counter remedies pointless at this point.

I am putting ice on them just to numb the pain but does anyone have any other advice or miracle cures, please??

TIA.

Neat tea tree oil 100% strength x3 a day. It stings but can almost halve the time you have them.

Order some super lysine cream from quantam, use every two hrs. also up to halves duration but no stinging or stinking!

Theres an electric pen thing on amazon supposed to be good

let me know if it makes them go quicker than normal - if it helps at all then keep applying for a week after they have completely gone to stop virus coming back the immediately after these have gone. you might need vaseline on the none cold sore parts of your lips
