Put a urine on your cold sore

Submitted by Steph

I was just told a little tip to help get rid of cold sores faster. This may sound a little strange to some people, but if you put urine on it, it will totally dry up and go away a lot quicker. When you go to the washroom just take a kleenex or a Q-tip, get it a little moist and dab it on the cold sore. Sounds gross but it works.

It could work!!!   Sterile Urine Comments By: Barrington Urine is sterile. It should also have no smell when it comes out of your body. If it does you should think about getting checked out cause you probably got a UTI or and STD. The smell is added later when bacteria break down the urea into ammonia. Aside from putting p1ss on your face this actually doesn't sound that ridiculous.   Urne on a cold sore and other ways?

Comments By: WhatsThatOnMyFace Ohhh I'm so upset.. I started to feel the tingle two weeks ago and I ran out right away and started using Carmex (my poor brother who suffers uses this...) and it went away! Sure enough the tingle came back last night (Tues) with a vengeance! I felt the tingle and applied the Carmex again but I woke up this morning (Wed) with a fat lip covered in tiny bumps that have already started to pop. I'm DEFINITELY going to try the pee thing. I have two parties this weekend and leaving for Myrtle Beach for a week on Sunday... No way this is gonna ruin my vaca!!! I'll let you all know!!   Comments By: Anon Ok so heres my question. I have the oral virus (but it isn't active at the moment and hasn't been for 2yeras) and I peed on my friends face (who had an open sore on his lip) and he got a cold sore for the first time. He's a pretty dirty guy so we're not 100% it was contracted by me. Any remarks?   YUPP! Comments By: getoverit,fast. Ive been struggling with the disgusting fact of getting cold sore since I can remember I'm 20 now and I still get the frequently, I've tried it all, from alcohol to abreva to lysine, and honestly it only stresses me out more. My dad and I were talking last night and as a joke he said to put urine on it. I laughed it off but since Ive been home all week off work bcuz Im too embarrassed to go out in public I was desperate, and after researching I tried it. Honestly it was a big scab last night I put some one last night, picked it this morning and its alot smaller, I just put some more on earlier this morning and I feel it working again. Its better than anything Ive tried.   THNXX!! Comments By: shorty :) ok so ive been trying the pee thing for two days its gone down ALOT and now isd healing. I think using this wont have you go through the whole scabbing stage. i have two more days to get rid of this and hopefully putting pee on it would work. Isnt it amazing how God created us. whoever thought pee would help haha lol   it does work Comments By: joni I just googled urine coldsores to see if it works and found this page. my friend told me about it yesterday when I was complaing that i can't afford abreva right now (after swearing me to secrecy- like she said "are you going to tell someone you rub pee on your lip"). I'm going out of town this weekend so anything is worth a try, and today my cold sore is already almost gone. It really does work. I also always put a big dot of toothpaste over it before showering to keep the skin layer from getting wet and coming off.   It works! Comments By: MP Spivey Look I know it sounds gross and everything but in fact it does work and it does cure the cold sore a lot quicker than any other product I have ever tried. I tried EVERYTHING! I'm originally from Jersey so it's more common for people in the cold to get them. I went into the US Army and as an Airborne MP and I can put my word that it works. We can't always have the luxery of medications so if your told something works you will give it a try and I promise you that it works. I actually had one about 4 days ago and it's gone already so when you can find me a medication that can heal a cold sore up in less than 4 days you tell me and I will give a try!   oh my Comments By: mandii i currently have one of those nasty cold sores and i have to be in a wedding in just a few days. and the most embarrising thing is to have a big blister on your mouth. i have been reading these comments and come to think of it pee just might actually work. im actually thinking about trying it. yeah it sounds nasty but who cares whatever works works   this works Comments By: Chelsea Meeks l-lysine works very well if taken regularly. 500 mg a day will help them not appear, but if they do take 3000 mg. this works very fast 2-3 days!!! ive never tried putting toothpaste or urine on my cold sores. when you apply the toothpaste how can i take it off without it hurting ??
