thanks steph

I hope they go away soon!!

hi i dont know if you get aquafresh toothpaste where you are but when i have coldsores i put aquafresh on them and as it drys it drys out the coldsore and the cold sore then goes into a scab.
ive used every cream you can imagine but i find they just feed the coldsore.

it only seems to work with aquafresh though,other toothpastea seems to feed the coldsore.

hope his helps.

i usually put the toothpaste on before i go to bed or in the evening as it can dry while i sleep then in the morning i use a damp cotton wool pad to wipe the dried toothpaste off.

will join in on this rage against cold sores!! have horrible swollen top lip with one and just got e-mail saying we are having a work photo in 30 mins

nothing works for me except for the actual antiviral drug. thanks though, you are lucky you can get rid of those like that.

Grrrr...I hate those things...they really make me feel so self concious

They do say that cold sores come out instread of you being ill - so that could be a little blessing?

I hope they go down quick, but I was always told to put perfume on them it stings like hell, but it does seem to work! x

I hope they go away for you soon hon. I had a couple of them a few months ago.

I've got one right now too. My naturopath put me on amino acids and it helped. This one pretty much scabbed after one day!

arh bless ya,i do hope they will go away soon.
i hate them and i know how you feel.
