At the first sign of a cold sore, tingling, itching, palpable bump on the lip, etc., start treatment with an antiviral medication like acyclovir. A single dose of 400-800 mg. will cause the cold sore to stop developing and go away in a few hours. No vesicles or scab will develop if treatment is started right away. Acyclovir is a prescription medication in the USA but is very cheap. You can obtain a prescription for 30 pills for $5.00 or 90 pills for $10.00 at a certain big retailer. Keep the medication in your refrigerator and it will last you years.
