Heat for cold sores and fever blisters

If you put a hot rag (not too hot) on your cold sore or fever blisters, It will soothe the pain and will help them to heal faster.

I disagree Comments By: K I have battled with cold sores since I was a child and in my experience, heat makes them much worse! Try this idea if you must, but be aware that heat can be a trigger to cold sores in the first place, why would you then TREAT them with heat? Not to be rude. Thanks   i disagree as well Comments By: cin heat on a cold sore does feel good like when you're in the shower and holding a hot rag on your lip. but when you are outta the shower and drying off it's usually a swollen mess. i dont recomment heat at all!!!   heat bad idea Comments By: Alahna Worst tip I have ever heard !!   botox look! Comments By: Anon I thought that I had a pimple erupting between my nose and my top lip. I put moist heat on it to help it along and get it over with; however, the next morning I look like I had been beat up. Scared, I went to the dr. and she said it was only a fever blister. I have never had one like this before, but heat made my lip swell so intensely, I am unable to smile because the skin is so tight. Now, I am taking a presciption, applying vinegar and ice.   that sucks Comments By: taylor i did that once and my cold sore grow ten times bigger that idea sucks what are you thinken
