Answer 1

When you first get it, try putting perfume on it. The alcohol helps to dry those bad boys out. Be careful not to over do it because you'll get a red mark. Also tea tree oil works well. The oil helps to prevent over drying. And DON'T pick it or else the scab will last longer then the stupid cold sore.
I know they're a pain in the a**. These things work for me, so I hope it'll help you out.

Answer 5

As soon as I feel one beginning to form, when it first feels slick, itchy and a little odd, I start soaking it with Blistek. For me this will usually make it short and usually never breaks out into a sore. I would imagine different people will react differently from cold sores and also the remedies. Some people use just plain camphor. Good Luck. Pops

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

Answer 7

I got diagnosed with herpes around 7 years ago, when I was still in college and had a spupid one-night affair. I am sure a lot of women will say this but I swear I never did that sort of thing. I jus made mistake that one time and, suddenly, it looked like I was going to have to live with the burden for the rest of my life. The awful part was thinking I could never meet men again. After all, who wants to date a person who has blisters around her you-know-what? But after someone shared this video https://tr.im/9bdjh everything has changed. Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than twenty days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my soulmate and I'm so happy to say that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.

Answer 10

Pour salt on it. If you have access to Vitamin C and Vitamin E, take a vitamin C tablet and crush it up and put it on it. Then rinse it off after about 20 to 30 seconds. Poke a hole in the vitamin E capsule and squeeze it on the cold sore, then rinse off. If you do that about 3 times a day for a couple days, it will be gone faster than Abreva.
