Asprin and Peroxide for a cold sore

Submitted by B

To dry up a coldsore, i usually take peroxide and dissolve a few non coated asprin tablets in it..and then i apply the paste to the cold sore....it definatly works to dry it up, but sometimes causes a "burn"...

just peroxide Comments By: anon For me if i just feel a cold sore comming i just put peroxide on it and it never comes.   ouch Comments By: Ashley I felt a cold sore coming on, so I kept a cottonball swabbed with peroxide on it on my lip for awhile, and when i woke up the next morning my lip was swollen, stinging, and the sore was still there!!   nice Comments By: john dissolving the aspirin in peroxide only works if the sore has opened...try opening the sore with a needle on the second day and then adding the paste..to stop the sore from developing entirely, rub the tingling spot with ice   Asprin Comments By: Cold Sore Free, Finally! I have been getting cold sores for as far back as I can remember. I have tried many products. I usually get on each month - I have a high yeast count, so I take an antibotic to prevent an infection - the antibotic for some reason causes a cold sore to appear. I have found a miracle! When I feel the tingling, I crush asprin with a tiny drop of water - careful - alot of water goes a long way. I place the paste on the area overnight. I do this for two nights for good measure and the cold sore doesn't appear. This has been effective for the past five months. Hope it works for you, too!   Perfecto Comments By: Anon Perfect combination asprin and peroxide, killed mine in 2 days. The scabs were still there BUT it didn't grow any bigger and the swelling was gone.   swollin Comments By: carolyn I used this stuff and it did make my blisters a kinda scabby but it made my lip swollen. I guess this doesnt work for everyone.   hi Comments By: anon what kind of peroxide do you use, hair stuff or contact lense cleaner, thanks
