How To Get Rid of Cold Sore
Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days.
They are actually a form of Herpes!
I have had canker sores for almost 30 years. Not just the small ones that supposedly go away in a week, but the nuclear sized ones that make it impossible to breathe without pain and last for a month. I have tried gels, patches, and even had my dentist prescribe me aphthasol, which is the only FDA approved prescription for canker sores to my knowledge. The only thing that used to work for me was to have my doctor put a stick of silver nitrate on the sore to cauterize it, which they are reluctant to do now. So with nothing to lose and based on the reviews here, I purchased this stuff. I'm not a big "homeopathic" type guy at all, so I had low expectations. The first time I used it, the sore never got bigger and was gone in a couple days. I thought perhaps a fluke. But nope, a few weeks later I again applied it to canker sore, this one on the gum line which has always been notoriously hard me to treat.
This stuff is very fluid out of the bottle so be careful as it stains. But the nice thing is, you don't have to make sure the surface is "completely" dry like I did with the aphthasol paste. The paste was pretty much worthless to me because it took at least five minutes for it to melt into the sore and form a barrier. Canker-Rid will film up even over a moist area.
Bottom line is, if you have tried everything else, what do you have to lose? This stuff really works. Give it a shot, and I'll bet you come back to write a glowing review like me. :)
