Many people believe that there are no cures for cold sores and for this reason they just leave them be on their face and dread the little virus that is now slowly becoming more noticeable.
Now what you need to understand is there are no official cure but there are things that you can do to speed up the recovery process or if you're lucky there are things that can get rid of the sore quickly before it reaches the really noticeable stage.
These are very easy things to do as well so read through the following article so next time that you feel a cold sore coming along you will know what you have to do.
Milk Milk has been said to be a very good factor that you can use to slow down the virus.
It has been said to be very effective when you are in the tingly phase (the tingly feeling you get that indicates that a cold sore is coming on).
Don't grab a cup of milk and drink it though, what you need to do is soak a cotton ball in the milk and the dab it on the area regularly for the next few days and if you're lucky and caught the virus early you won't see it again.
Ice If you are too late and the blisters have formed then something that may help you get relief is the use of ice.
Due to the blisters you will experience irritation, soreness and redness however if you go about poking this area then you will just make it worse or increase the chances of spreading it around your body or even to others.
So next time it starts irritating you don't touch it but instead have a slushy or an ice lolly instead.
Make-Up For women I know how much having one of these can be a pain in the backside but the last thing you will want to do is cake it in make-up.
If you go onto covering the area in make-up you are blocking it from the public but you are also cutting down the chances of the thing getting the air it needs for the recovery and this could just make it worse as you will be agitating the area so do yourselves a favour and don't put the make-up on (or lessen the amount if that's too hard).
Over The Counter Medication The most obvious cures are those that can be found in pharmacies etc and they have been known to be very effective to remove the cold sores as well but make sure you know what's in them before trying them to avoid getting an allergic reaction as that isn't what you want from cures for a cold sore.
