I have heard apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball held to the area for a short time, but I don't know if it works.
The best thing I have ever used for cold sores is Lactinex pills. Ask your pharmacist. They are not prescription, but have to be refrigerated so they are not out on the counter. They somehow replace healthy microbes in the body that suppress the herpes virus. Start taking them at the first tingle, and sometimes it won't even go ahead to develop into a cold sore. Stop taking them when the cold sore or the feeling of a cold sore is gone.
The second best thing is Acidophilus pills. I believe it works the same way as the Lactinex but it takes longer. You will find it in the vitamin section. Again, ask your pharmacist how many you can safely take. Stop taking them once the threat of cold sore has passed.
This must be the best kept secret ever because I tried everything else to no avail until my pharmacist told me about the Lactinex.
I tried Lysine, but it did nothing to help me. Maybe it has to be taken consistently instead of just during an outbreak.
I hope this works as well for you as it has for me. I have often wondered if it would work for genital herpes as well, but I just don't know.

how old are you? get a grip! its just a cold sore. cover it (if you can) with a little makeup or something. and if the kids hate you they are going to pick at you for some thing or another. ignore the idiots, concentrate on your school work, go to college, have a way cooler job then them, drive a great car and laugh at them while they have no life. (because they were too busy laughing at you to study) good luck
