You need to seek medical attention. I have had several cold sores and the only thing that has ever helped was Abreva... but sounds like you are way past that. Go to the doctor...today!

I REALLY wanted you to know that you can EASILY never have to deal with another horrible, awful, nasty cold-sore for the rest of your life!!
I got them every winter my whole life until 3 years ago (I'm 36 now) and they were the BANE of my existence...the whole process took weeks to heal and would leave a scar for at least 2 months sometimes!
I was reading a message board on www.curezone.org and discovered the PERFECT remedy for both healing them and preventing them completely:
OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT
http://curezone.com/foods/oliveleaf.html
So, I buy the liquid tincture by "HerbPharm" and it has not failed me ONCE...Whenever I'm feeling drained, tired, stressed, or get that tingly feeling on my lip, I just load up on this stuff.
This is the one I buy: http://www.myvitanet.com/olleafex1ozh.html
You can also get Olive Leaf at Whole Foods Market, and other natural food stores.
Very cheap.
The first time I tried it, I was actually halfway into a major eruption and I drank a bunch of the extract in some water.
AS I WAS DRINKING the stuff down, I could feel the swelling on my lip shrinking...I was in such shock--I ran to the mirror--it was shrinking before my eyes and within ten minutes my lip had returned to NORMAL...I began kissing the bottle of Olive Leaf...yeah, I really did!!
I had tried everything in the past...I can't begin to tell you the WARS I had with these evil sores!
Well, I can finally say: I WON !!!

And here I thought you mispelled CHAPPED accidentally. You didn't. Ambesol is the WORST thing you could put on a cold sore and chapped lips. Pitch-black cold sore? Never heard of such a thing. If you get cold sores, then I guess you would know. Go buy some Abreva and some ChapStick.

Drink lots of water to get rid of the chapped lips and keep your hands clean. Go see a Doctor for a prescription for your cold sore.

definite. you ought to apply ice to help. not sure if this is going to shrink the swelling by skill of lots, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that this is going to help ease the soreness for a together as. confirm to apply a competent ointment on the chilly sore (purchase from a drugstore).

Abbreva always works well for my wife. It is expensive but good stuff. She prefers it to Herpecin.
