Cold Sore Remedy

Cold Sore Remedy..

Ingredients: alcohol L-Lysine Abreva ice cubes.

Instructions: I have been suffering from cold sores for about 10 years. They are the most resented gift from an ex-boyfriend! I have tried everything you can imagine and have found that they build up a tolerance for every treatment I use.

Also, you must keep in mind that there is no cure and you can only try to prevent them from recurring, and when you get a blister it has to go through the full cycle before it goes away.

I have found that the best prevention is L-Lysine. I take a pill daily and then increase the dose when a blister forms. The sore does not completely go away, but it doesn't get as huge as they use to get.

Also, I prefer to pop the blisters with a sterile needle and apply alcohol or peroxide. This helps dry them out faster, speeding the healing time.
Hope this helps
