Do you suffer with cold sores?

I’m so sick of them I had one come up in the corner of my month about two weeks ago which is only just healing and now I have another one coming up on my top lip WTAF!!

They are so sore and annoying and take weeks to do away!!

anyone else get these?

Stress, lack of sleep, poor immunity can bring on flare ups. Also scratching or rubbing or and activities that cause irritation at infected areas.
Put Abreva on it at the first sign of cold sore, will decrease time by days.
There are supplements also shown to support suppression such as Lysine.
If its bad enough you can get a prescription to supress.
Chocolate and popcorn have been shown to increase outbreaks.
