So angry. Had a coldsore on my lip, got to it really quick, took medication, put creams on it and it was clearing up really fast, yay! Then I got a secondary one right as the other is healing and I'm so mad. I'm so careful to try and not spread it but these fucking herpes.

Science needs to cure herpes now, it's been too long. No more herpes!

I have a cold sore... I started getting them when I was 15 and got them quite frequently in my 20's. Like once every 3 months. They would be so bad it literally looked like someone punched me in the mouth. So swollen. I haven't gotten one in 9 months which is actually a long time for me. Anyways I have used so many different products over the years and I found it was best to let it run ots course and use polysporin on it at the end. It's the scabbing part I always have issue with as I never leave it alone. Anyway I bought the polysporin patches. I'm wearing it in the picture it's come up a bit on the bottom because it's half in my mouth. But I'm pleasantly surprised with it so far. It's very discreet and hides it. And once I ignore it I barely notice it on. So I'll keep an eye on it and see if it has any noticeable difference. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

How to get rid of a coldsore in 3 days!

Alright guys take note, because this will save you when you get struck with a coldsore.

The majority of the population has the coldsore (herpes simplex virus 1) in their bodies. It doesn’t go away but usually lays dormant within DNA, until certain factors occur that often trigger them.

Things that can bring on a coldsore are: -stress -period -ill health -lowered immune system -tiredness and fatigue -strong sunlight exposure -having a current infection

So basically when your body is run down, and your immune system isn’t at its best, the virus comes out in the form of a coldsore blister on your lip line usually.

Some people are more prone to coldsores than others.

A coldsore will first appear as a bump/lump on the lip line. It’s usually clear; looks like it’s liquid filled at this stage. Usually very small, not obvious at all, you may only be able to feel it not see it. But the sooner you spot one and treat it the better your chances are of getting rid of it quickly.

So what to do when you first spot a coldsore. This is my tried and tested method and has worked for me on numerous occasions.

Step 1| Put some tea tree oil (make sure it’s diluted with aloe or water or a carrier oil, not pure tea tree oil), on the end of a que tip or cotton bud and hold it on top of the coldsore. You may need to hold it with some pressure. It will probably sting a fair bit.

Step 2| Buy a coldsore cream, I usually use Zovirax, but most have the same active ingredient which stops the virus developing and spreading. Apply the cold sore cream as often as you can. Rub it in then put another thin layer of it over the top and leave it sitting on top. Make sure you do this at night too. So the cream is on the spot over night.

Step 3| Take L-lysine supplements. Essentially L-lysine floods the cells with lysine so that the cells cannot be contaminated by the coldsore virus. Lysine can be found in health stores.

If you spot your coldsore developing soon enough you can make sure it doesn’t become a full blown crusty sore. I have gotten rid of one of mine in 3 days with this method. It works.
