August 8, 200818 yr I was thinking the same thing ... :sssh: yes it is and it is type 1 of the herpes virus. He says it has been shown to reduce the severity. http://www.wikihow.com/Treat-a-Cold-Sore-or-Fever-Blisters good site with info
August 8, 200818 yr Zoverax Prescription only. Nothing is going to get rid of them right away! If they are there, they are there. Best bet is to use zoverax($$$$) as soon as you feel you might be getting them, also some sort of antacid for your stomach. Another thing you could put lots of perixode on it until it drys. The truth is if its got you, its got you. I have a lot of experience in this area. I also have a prescription for Zoverax. Now I'm due (overdue) for one and the above is what I will be doing.:ylsuper: There have been clinical studies showing Zovirax cream/ointment is ineffective. Abreva remains the best treatment, most people dont wanna pay 14 dollars for a baby sized tube though. The absolute key to a cold sore/fever blister, is catching it right on the onset, when you very first feel it tingle, if you wait even a day, it's going to show up and run it's full course. It will show up some regardless, but early on with Abreva it can shorten the duration.
August 8, 200818 yr Wait...isn't this the...nevermind.. Valtrex is used for HSV #1 and #2. Number 1 is the "cold sore." Number 2 is genital herpes. Same virus which hides in the spinal cord region and comes out every now and then but located in two different places. 1/4th of the population has either type 1 or type 2.
