I'm sick of Coldsores!!

[ash6605]

For over a month now I have had recurring coldsores.
It started with a huge one while my daughter was in hospital so I put it down to stress.I used my usual cream,Virasorb but that didn't work.
I then tried Zovirax which seemed to make it shrink but not disappear completely and since then I have developed another 3 smaller ones.
I am now using Cymex but still have 4 coldsores,not massive hideous ones but they are really irritating me and I don't understand why I have had them continuosly for this long.My poor children are sick of kissing my cheek and D.H will leave me before long if he doesn't get a snog!!

What can I try now,I really don't want to bother the doctor but maybe I need something a little stronger?

We swear by Themba. DH used to have cold sores for a couple of weeks at a time and this nobbles them in a couple of days. Also good for anything 'skinny' - antiseptic / antiviral stuff. We love it. A samll pot lasts forever.

I am with Rosalux, I also use a machine, it is the best £45 I have ever spent.

Get someone to buy it for you for xmas, its worth it.

compeed patches - they are fantastic.. if you get it on the first day it never appears. I swear by them.

I'd echo that machine. I bought one for dh. He developed a coldsore on a transatlantic flight so didnt get the machine on it til the next day. The coldsore just remained a red bump for a few days and then subsided. No horrid weeping.
