Ugh been sick for damn near two weeks and now I have a small cold sore on my lip! I've been using medicated lip balm for…

Tea tree oil may help

Campho-Phenique. Abreva. Tea tree oil. Neosporin. (I asked four people lol)

OMG lol thank you. @tayek @searrahmone this is my second time having one. The first time I had one I was in elementary school and I hated it :(

be careful with tea tree oil... it can burn your skin of you use straight tea tree oil... I would say abreva... always worked wonders for me (:

@littlemissrainesmommy, okay thank you & do you know exactly what causes them???

I'm not really sure

I use rubbing alcohol wait for 10mins before applying anything else ,it helps dry the cold sore out than I use campho-phenique

thank you. @nikki84 Does drying it out make it go away quicker?

@amirxalyak, sometimes yes it has for me

@nikki84, okay I put some 70% rubbing alcohol on it. And then I put some medicated lip balm on there. I hope it works. Thank you! And it's very small so will the alcohol stop it from getting bigger?

yea it should help, soon as I feel one I start doing that @amirxalyak

okay thank you, and one more question. How often do i reapply the alcohol and medicated balm?@nikki84

as often as you like @amirxalyak

thank you!@nikki84

welcome! @amirxalyak
