I have a fever blister on my lip. It just appeared last night, I don't know where it came from, I haven't been kissing anyone, and I haven't had a cold recently. I need this to go away quick, what can I put on it?

Start by icing it for about 1 hour. Use an ice cube in a clean washcloth replacing the ice cube about 4-5 times. During the day use Campho Phenique often,and at night put toothpaste on it. I know it sounds wierd but after experimenting with several products this is what worked best for me. I have been getting them since I was a sophmore in high school- they are triggered by stress after you have been exposed. I have tried Abreva, prescriptions, Lysine, this works best for me. Good Luck

Fever blisters are things that everyone gets at some point in their lives, so it's nothing to worry about. You can put abreva on it. My friends that get them use that all the time.

I never tried toothpaste on mine, McMayhem, but I will next time. It sure would taste a lot better----I use roll on deodarant. Just put some on your finger and apply. Tastes yucky but dries up the sore very quickly.
Good luck.

Abbreva! Or take Valtrex medicine, script only.
