Cold Sores

Those tiny blisters around the lips and mouth, or even around the nose, can be very unsightly - in fact some people get so depressed, they simply refuse to go out!

The blisters that form are often swollen, red and quite sore; they may break open with clear fluid leaking. They usually occur when the immune system is low, or with strong sunlight, or in times of high stress.

Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) causes these blisters and they are very contagious so be careful not to pass it on.. to your loved ones.. or to anyone else!

Anti viral creams, like @zovirax__gb are what is usually recommended.

I prefer natural remedies like Lysine cream and tablets - refer to my Lysine post.

Aloe Vera gel may also provide some help.

But what is of exceptional use is Virulite, the invisible LED light device. Start using it at first tingling, 2x day for 3 days then once a day for 2-3 more days. @virulitellc is simply amazing!
