Yes, I found it works better than anything else actually!
Really there is NO way to kill cold sores. Try lemon juice, ketchup, or even salt.
Products within medicated lip balms vary depending on which skin ailment the balm is supposed to treat (sore lips, cracked lips, cold sores etc.). However most do contain some ingredient that forms a protective barrier over the skin, some mild analgesic ingredients and some form of scent.
Anbesol is really a great medicine for cold sores.
i personally think blistex. burts bees works pretty good to, but blistex works 2x better. my lips get very very chapt during the winter, vaseline works great to. when you first put on blistex it even feels more soothing!! so for chapt lips i would defenettly use blistex, but when it comes to sores i would use vaseline
No, canker sores are abrasions inside your mouth and can be caused by biting your mouth, stress, drinking coffee etc. Cold sores (oral herpes) can be spread by someone else.
There really isn't a difference, sunblisters are just a prettier name for cold sores. If the blisters come with symptoms like itching, burning and or tingling symptoms then they could be cold sores or fever blisters. Cold sores can be triggered to break out when you're out in the sun for long periods of time.
Nothing really. All cold sores do is cause pain full blisters or sores on the mouth. Cold sores don't cause any other infections and they can get less sever over time. They just have to be more care full with sharing food and giving oral sex to their partners which should be abstained from while they have a cold sore.
Genital sores may be painful, itchy, produce a discharge or nothing at all. It's very important to report this medical issue to your doctor, and having the sores can get really bad if not treated. If left untreated, such sores can get worse and potentially create something cancerous.
There are two remedies that I use for cold sores. The first is put milk of magnesia on it overnight. It helps to dry out the cold sore and allows it to heal much faster. The second is to put carmex medicated chapstick on it everyday until it's gone.
they are little sores in your mouth
Sores inside the mouth are called canker sores.
No. I have canker sores and have never kowingly given some one canker sores. Canker sores are not caused by the same thing that causes cold sores and as far as I know they are not contagious. But to be on the safe side avoid kissing this person until their canker sores go away.
