Coldsores

[tinkerbell23]

Ive lost count of the amount of times ive banged on here about coldsores...

But is it normal to have at least one probobly monthly now!?

If its not my lip its up my nose or on the end of my nose!? I spend a bomb on aciclovir and compeed patches never mind all the other stuff i try and im absolutley sick of having them and wasting money and they keep coming back!!

The patches with good hygeine stop me spreading them but they keep erupting its really peeing me off :0(

Instead of alcohol, try dabbing with cold black coffee - cheaper, and does not induce headaches.

Tinkerbell. 4-get might well be right. It sounds very much like impetigo and you could need antibiotics to clear it up. My son had it and what you are describing was just how his was, all around the nose mouth and chin area. Blisters and infected. Impetigo is also very infectious.

Hope you will go to the doctors today.

Tinkerbell - for me 'Blistex'applied liberally. Always works.

Don't put HC on any open spots or sores, it does more harm than good Tinker.

Good luck tomorrow. Let us know how you get on x
