Cold milk dabbed on with a Q-tip is really helping..

I started using finger nail polish remover.. Once I feel it coming and I can actually see the blister I pop it VERY CAREFULLY so it won’t spread and use a Q-Tip to apply the remover.. It burns but it dries the blister up very quickly. I also carry around Herpecin to use throughout the day and I apply ice when I can at work. I used to have to go get a steroid shot because mine got so bad, but this has really really helped, I still have it for a few days but its not near as big or as painful as they used to be. Good Luck!!

When you see those ugly sores, take some bleach and dampen a small piece of cotton with the bleach and apply to the cold soars every three to four hours, it will start dissapearing within a few days. It also helps stop the pain, it will burn in the beginning but will kill it and the pain will go away.

Lactinex keeps the fever blister from swelling. Use it as soon as you feel the tingle and keep using it for several days, until you feel the tingle has completely subsided. Also, religiously apply generous amounts of Carmex lip balm to your lips, especially covering the area where you feel the tingle. This procedure has worked well for me for years. Abbreva seems to help some too if you are unable to keep the blister from forming.

I am 39 been living with and tried everything. I usually take llyzine wham my lips get chapped and b,12 if it forms I get thar tea bag out use warm water to get the tea and place it onthe lip dont move it around or you can spread it. After few minutes remove and place ice on it. ‘ I make a mixture of menthol toothpaste and abriva place out on the sore with a qtip rub it in well put more ong the other side of quite tips so it is moist crush lyzine and I know it sounds funny deoteran powder and put mixture over sore will draw out moisture from sore so its not so big.leave on as long as possable. When removing use warm water and soap. keep the swelling down with ice or ibuprofen important the more I swells the bigger it will be. Hope this helps

At the first tingle of a cold sore, when you can barely see or feel a bump, begin taking Lactinex. Take 4 at a time about every four hours, or as soon as that tingle comes back. This prevents the cold sore from forming for me. If I can’t get to Lactinex in time, I still take it when I can get it as it shortens the duration of the cold sore. Most pharmacies carry Lactinex. It’s a probiotic kept in the refrigerator. It does not require a prescription.

I’m 18 and my first outbreak was when i was 9. I hate it, because i usually get them during that time of month, or when i stress like crazy. Once i learned to controll my stress, i didn’t get any fever blisters for about a year and a half! but like all good things…they come to an end i guess i started to use the rememdy toothpaste ans salt. it really works for me. I pop the blister and wait no longer than ten seconds to apply rubbing alcohol then the toothpaste and salt mixed together. i hope it works fro everyone out there! i know how much this hurts! good luck!
