Hi there all,
So cold sores are a subject I was once very skittish about discussing. Every time I had one and got the "looks" I felt extremely embarrassed and utterly disgusting. Over time I've realized that it's not just me in the world that has them, and that there's no reason to feel self conscious or ashamed for a small blister on my lip. It happens. Just like chicken pox, the flu, etc. With that said, lately I've been having some frequent recurrences, not really sure if it's due to stress from work and college, or something else. Anyone know of some really good home remedies to reduce the healing time or just the discomfort? I've tried Abreva but it does absolutely nothing for me.
