August 7, 200818 yr Ok, this may sound gross, but I need suggestions. I get fever blisters all the time I have 2 forming right now at the same time. I am going out tomorrow grr and when I wake up in the morning my lip will be HUGE! Any one have any home remedies or ideas to shrink this think or demolish it. Thanks.:irked:
August 7, 200818 yr I would change my toothbrush and also Blistex, makes some cream which can be applied. I've heard some say, that too much acid (tomatoes, spicy foods, etc...) can cause some problems. You may want to visit a physician and have them looked at. They are certainly aggravating and hope things go well.
August 7, 200818 yr Wow Mrs FF, it seems like this stuff only pops up when a person is ready to go. I really can not remember the name of the medicine, however, I think it used to be a script. It is a cream that you rub on....it worked well for me. I really wish I could tell you the name of it. A pharm. could tell you I'm sure. My grandma used to make a paste with baking soda and put it on us. I was too young to remember if it worked or not.
August 7, 200818 yr Author My mom used to use Campho Phenique (sp). I have that on right now :thumb:!!!!!
August 7, 200818 yr That stuff always seemed to make mine worse.....I might have not been able to tolerate something in it though because PH used it a couple of weeks ago and it worked like a charm.

August 7, 200818 yr Well its burning like crazy lol That is what it did to me, then I blistered worse! Be careful.
August 7, 200818 yr Try the dietary supplement Lysine 500 mg. Take 2 at the 1st sign and then 1 per day. This was suggested by our family doctor. It seems to really work well.
August 7, 200818 yr Carmex, Blistex, Campo-Phenique, etc. Nothing will make those nasty buggers go away right away. I had one pop up Monday; I'm hopeful it will be gone tomorrow.
August 7, 200818 yr Author Carmex, Blistex, Campo-Phenique, etc. Nothing will make those nasty buggers go away right away. I had one pop up Monday; I'm hopeful it will be gone tomorrow. They haunt me I swear. I never get them until I have something big coming up, when I need pictures taken, or something like that. And of course we are going out for my bday tomorrow night, we will be taking pictures and I have this nasty growth appearing GRRRRR
August 7, 200818 yr Alcohol - Not the kind you drink - unless of course my suggestion doesn't work for you:D Seriously, Get some rubbing alcohol and put it on a cotton ball and hold it there until it burns......when it starts to burn hold it there a while longer. I know this sounds horrible but it will sure dry that darn thing up. Since I am prone to these nasty things I do this all the time. I carry the little alcohol swabs in my purse just in case I feel one coming on. Try this I think you will be surprised.

I am not one for pain so we will see how long I can hold that sucker on there :eek:
