Make Cold Sore Heal Faster
i have the worst cold sore ever on my lip and above the lip its rather painfull?
what should i do to make it heal faster?
If you do not have an OTC med like Abreva, then you can try some lip balm and NSAID to help with the pain. Sometimes orajel will help, but be sure you do not have any cuts on your finger (so the virus won't get into your hand, aka herpes whitlow) and wash your hands well!!
Otherwise I would be getting to the drug store or ringing my doctor for some Denavir cream or something like that when the offices open. I hate when I have one of those, they hurt sooo bad! Good luck!

Hi again, I just wanted to correct some information below. There are different strains of herpes (not stages) and the strains have a tendency to express themselves in specific areas, however, either strain can infect any area, not just the lips or genitals. A person can get herpes on any area of their skin including hands, buttocks and back, nose, eyes and even brain if they are really unlucky, but really it can spread anywhere! The only way to distinguish between the two strains is through testing. You can get herpes from sharing eating utensils, drinking from the same container as someone who is actively shedding the virus, sharing lip balm, touching the area, etc. Kissing and sex are only 2 of the ways it can be spread. I usually do not go into such detail, but that information is very important to you right now since you have an active blister. Please be sure to use careful handwashing, especially if you accidently touch it. Be sure not to share anything with anyone that your mouth has touched, and for eating utensils and cups, rinse them right away and put them immed. into the dishwasher or wash them immed. so there is no risk of you spreading it to friends and family members! Hope you recover soon!
