Answer 5

this got rid of mine in 2 days...

Its called "compeed" and u can get them in most chemists

Boots sell them

If you search compeed on google then it will come up with the website. They aren't cheap but they are definately worth the money as they get rid of cold sores so quickly.

The box they come in will slip in your pocket and has a handy mirror so you can apply one when you are out and about.

Compeed patches are little transparent stickers that go over the cold sore reducing the spread of bacteria and germs that may cause the cold sore to spread.

I would say they are well worth having and will come in handy whenever you wake up with a cold sore.

Hope this helps.
