Make sure the nail polish remover had acetone in it! If it's acetone free then you'll be wasting your time!

Okay, where to start .. I get cold sores all the time and it always sucks right when you plan to be sexual with your other. I usually would have cold sores for about 2 weeks. I've tried everything from perscriptions to over the counter creams. I tried the nail polish remover and it worked decently well. It did burn quite a bit but it was well worth it. I put it on about an hour ago and it seems to be drying out. It didn't help the swelling to much but ice does the trick! Thank you very much!!!

justs held the polish there for a minute and it def feels like it is drying out, and one of my sores look a little smaller. I guess repeating this process will work more effectively?

Tips on Cold Sores!

Here's some info that I wish I knew a long time ago:
-there is NO cure for cold sores. It's a virus and as of now there are no cure for any virus unfortunately.
-"Lysine" an amino acid, you can buy at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe can be taken daily as a preventative measure. It will help reduce cold sores but remember cold sores are triggered by: stress, sun light/tanning, and for women, your menstrual cycle. There is no way to totally avoid it if you're infected with the virus. Lack of sleep (which causes a weaker immune system) will trigger it for me like clockwork!
-"Valtrex" a prescription drug, is the most effective treatment. It's actually prescribed for Herpes Simplex 2 but it works for cold sores (herpes simplex 1). You need to take it upon the initial "tingle" IF your doctor will prescribes it to you..he might not, and take it 2x a day until you see the sore diminish. An older drug to use is "Zovirax".
-ice helps but doesn't get rid of it
-once infected, it can only run its course but trying to "shorten" the life of a cold sore is possible.
-remember most over the counter stuff you see only helps with the symptoms and DOES NOT get rid of the cold sore.
-doing something upon first "tingle" is very important! Usually after that...good luck to ya!

Huge sore/swollen lip

My upper lip is swollen with a gaggle of sores. This all started on Monday. I've been putting abreva on like a maniac, tea tree oil and I even popped some with a lancet, but to no avail. It's still swollen, and crusty. I look like I was bitten by a spider then punch by a monkey(they hit hard).
Is it too late to use nail polish remover? I need all the help I can get, I have a huge meeting in front of 40 people on Monday....lol... Life is too funny!

i tried the nail varnish remover and it started to take the swelling down, i held the cotton ball on it for maybe 3minutes then left it, the tingling stopped and it felt like the swelling was going down, then i looked in the mirror and found another cluster of blisters that had just formed. and the swellings got worse on the other one now. so annoying
