Please help me get rid of this INFERNAL cold sore :o(

[Greensleeves]

I have had this cold sore on the corner of my mouth for about a MONTH. . It hurts to eat and it cracks and pours with blood every time I smile (thankfully this is a fairly infrequent occurrence, owing to my innate foultemperedness)

I have tried Zovirax, Savlox, hydrocortisone cream and even earwax

It WON'T go away. It's so embarrassingly visible too. Anyone got any ideas?

OMG I thought it said this INTERNAL cold sore

Sympathy.

I would take the breastmilk if I was you. I have no other ideas

neat vodka or any alcohol?

poor you. i can empathise - i have a nasty one on my upper lip. i give up on zovirax once it's past the blister stage - concentrate on stopping the wet-dry-wet-dry thing whoch means the top keeps coming off and rehealing - over and over. i put a dab of eight hour cream, but maybe vaseline would do the same thing?

Geranium oil applied neat is really good. My ex-H used to get cold sores & they healed & disappeared much quicker once I got him on to this.
You can get geranium oil in Boots or a health food store. Personally, I rate it as better than tee-tree oil, which is often also recommended.
Geranium oil shouldn't be applied neat usually but is ok to do on a cold sore.

Thanks very much for the replies

Will get dh to pop into Boots for geranium oil this evening.

and breastmilk.

Don't think they sell it in Boots Franny...one day, maybe!
