Anyone know of a treatment that can cure coldsores as fast as possible. I work in a job where I meet people face to face daily and having a coldsore wont be good at all.
Answers: Thomas Answered:
From a local pharmacy there are many but Zovirax (Topical) or Compeed (Small Patch) are a couple of big brands.
Nat Answered: Yes, cold sores usually can be gotten rid of overnight(see below) my sister did this a while ago before going to a birthday party for her mom, I'm not sure on the details though but I can ask. Also, being aware of your cold sore and becoming self-conscious will be more harmful to your interactions than the cold sore itself, so if you run out of time to get rid of the cold sore, simply forget about it and don't sweat it. Cheers, Nat
