Ok, I get cold sores and shingles out breaks every month or so and I found something that helps!!

Take bacteen, but make sure that it has lidocaine or benzocaine in it, and put on a cotton ball…

then put on a liberal amount of camphor spirit’s (u.S.P. External analgesic) that you get at walgreen’s for like $4.00.

Apply about 5 times a day and it will heal in about 3 days as apposed to two weeks !

And yes, I do know that that abriva stuff works but that costs about twenty dollars for a half an oz.

This is cheep and easily available!

If you don’t get the bacettn (i use the bandaid brand kind) then get a tube of orijell and mix that in with the camphor spirit because it can burn rather bad and you will need the slight numbing.

I hope this helps! I know it helped me!!!!!!
