Chronic cold sores (1 every other week)
Amazing for cold sores!!!!! I have had a cold sore every other week since I was 11 years old (I'm 24 now). I don't mean little ones that look like zits, I mean giant ones on my mouth, chin, above my lip and nose, and in my nose. If anyone knows cold sores it's me. I've been using this on the cold sores for 2 years and I can't explain how much of a difference it makes. Every time I feel one coming on I use this, and it stops in it's tracks. Without treatment my cold sores would never go away (again, I get them every other week and it's takes over a week for my skin to heal). With this and oral L-lysine pills they only last about 3 days worst case scenario, and that's IF I don't catch them in time. If I catch them soon enough they just look like small red marks. I've been on all sorts of prescriptions, but this is the ONLY >topical< medicine that has worked for me, and it actually makes the cold sore feel less painful unlike chalky or oily products. Just try it. It cost less than a prescription topical, and it might be as wonderful for you as it is for me. Plus it'll last awhile, unlike other over the counter options.
