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"...

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!

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.

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.

This is it folks: At first sign of tingling, take Acyclovir or apply Abreva. If blister occurs, sterilize needle, coat tip with Abreva, lance the blister. Massage Abreva into blister every 2 hours and take Acyclovir as directed. Don't mess with alcohol or peroxide as those will further injur delicate lip area. Bleach and/or aspirin is just silly. Vaseline just prolongs sore. Abreva is it.
