I’ve been struggling trying to find cold sore remedies my entire life. Let me tell you a quick story that served as my “wake up call” for finding the ultimate cold sore remedies.
I was in sixth grade and woke up one morning with lesions on my lips. When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that I had cold sore bumps everywhere.
I tried “popping” them but to no avail. They just bled a little and started scabbing up.
Needless to say, I was not going to go to school looking like living death. I convinced my Mom to let me stay home to avoid embarrassment.
(These cold sores couldn’t have come at the worst time. I was getting ready to ask my school crush Jenny to the after school dance that week!)
It ended up being the absolute WORST cold sore breakout ever. I wasn’t able to eat solid food for a couple days because it was too painful to open my lips. I also couldn’t brush my teeth so I wouldn’t disturb my lips—I drank mouthwash with a straw.
I returned to school with scars on my lips. The infection had healed at that point. It was so embarrassing …my buddy then kidded me that I looked like “I Had Scurvy"….a vitamin C deficiency that causes lesions on lips and gums.
After that humiliating ordeal, my search for cold sore remedies has been ongoing. I’ve been able to limit breakout s to 2-3 times a year…mostly coming in the winter. And not as bad as the fiasco I experienced in sixth grade.
