Cold sore cream does work. Usually works better if you get it before the cold sore appears though. Boots do their own brand which has exactly the same active ingrediant to Zofirax, just cheaper. Try that. The patches work really well for me to. Just avoid sexual contact till it's gone though.

Zovirax is good if caught early. An ice cube wrapped in cling film, held for a minute every hour at first appearance or tingle. If already blistered, best you can do is keep it moist with something like blisteze lip ointment, to help it heal without drying out and cracking.

As funky said, there are little tiny comfeel/compeed plasters for cold sores. They are good if you can get them to stay on, I rarely can. On the odd occasion they have stayed on (usually overnight when I am not talking or eating), they did speed up the healing process. Remember the ice cube bit for next time, it works, no idea why, lol.

Lysine tablets work great for cold sores too. I take 4-5 tablets at first sign of cold sore and then take 1-2 every few hours till its healed. I swear those tablets have cut the time of healing way down. I usually use combo of cream and tabs.

How long did it take for it to go. I hate them, plus I have ezcema and because the weather has changed its come out again n I have it on my face so I have to try and not scratch my face incase I catch the sore x
