i've gotten cold sores ever since i can remember, try being in grade 2 and having little children ask 'what up with your face' this year it's gotten so bad i've missed days of school because high schoolers know how to make you feel worse about the situation. This morning i woke up snd felt a cold sore coming in the exact same spot i had like 2 weeks ago, i put ice on it for over 20 minutes which not only numbed it for acetone but started a killing process since like most viruses, cold sores hate cold. i can already feel the acetone burning and i think this time it won't be noticable at all, thank you so much to the person who decided to put nail polish on their face! :) I've also heard yogurt helps dry it out so i am going to put some on when i wake up in a couple hours before school. I hope that helps someone!

I took an old lip balm pot and put in some remover and salt together and applied that mix. What usually takes a week is now at say day 3 only 2hrs in. Amazing

I haven't had a cold sore for years then after arriving home from holiday (having been exposed to bright sunight and being run down) my lip erupted last night. I applied Zovirax immediately to no avail. Woke up this morning with the left side of my bottom lip double in size with a disgusting yellow crusty sore. Called in sick as too embarassed to leave the house. Lied about why i couldnt go in! Anyway, desperate to find a cure i googled it. I came across this site with the acetone tip. Strange i thought but willing to try anything. Well im absolutely amazed. Within 1/2 hr the ugly crusty yellow sore turned into a small red rough patch. Just like it looks when you've almost recovered from one. Its still swollen but its so much better. A miracle cure. Thanks Tipking

this is my first cold sore, and i am mortified right now. it is above my lip and is pea sized and hurts like a mo-fo. i just got over a nasty cold that was accompanied by a high fever, which is what i'm assuming triggered my outbreak. i've spent all day doing research on cold sores and nail polish remover seemed to have the most consistent testimonials. i finally worked up the nerve to try it and it immediately (within 30 seconds) took the swelling and puffiness down. i will continue to apply the npr every few minutes and am on my way to the store to get some lysine pills. i'll let you know tomorrow how it works out for me. so far it seems to be working. and p.s. my sore was open when i put 100% acetone npr on it and it really didn't sting that badly. don't be soft and just do it.

I have just felt the tingle and noticed the first of the bubbles. Ran to shop to get some acetone, I'm desperate for this to work. Will let you know how I get on.
