Cold sores. Perfume treatment for coldsores

Submitted by Debbi

I dab my coldsore with perfume at the first initial tingling blister stage, and continue to dab it numerous times throughout the day, pretty much every hour.

In most cases this treatment stops the development of the coldsore. At the moment I am in day 2 of the blister stage and can't see anything on my lip. This treatment stings a little but is effective. Most of the time the coldsore doesn't eventuate. If you don't get to it in time and the coldsore does develop, still dab it with perfume numerous times a day. This will reduce the size of the coldsore and lessen the duration of the outbreak.

Just my luck that I'm going out friday aswell, been putting perfum on it all day dried out a little bit, Im trying the nail varnish remover trick now!! Fingers crossed   this works Comments By: nikki perfume is great even aftershave lotion the more it stings the better the results ive been gettin them for years and this tip always does the trick!!   Perfume does cure cold sores. Comments By: Mike Holden I used to get cold sores every couple of months. The cure you can buy at the chemist (begins with Z...) used to take more than 10 days to work, by which time the cold sore would probably have cleared up, without treatment. Applying perfume twice a day clears up cold sores in a couple of days, and they seem to stay away for longer too. It does sting a bit but it's the best treatment I know.   YAYY!
