It is especially important to be aware of early warning signs that a cold sore is coming, and to be sure to avoid close physical contact when you have one. A blister, or cluster of blisters around your mouth, is caused by the cold sore virus.
After the cold sore has healed, the virus stays dormant in your body but can be reactivated by everyday triggers like stress, sunlight, extreme hot or cold weather, colds and flu, lack of sleep, or menstruation. A typical cold sore outbreak can last as long as seven to ten days. So for best results, use ABREVA at the very start of the cold sore - when you feel the first sign of the tingle, redness, bump or itch. No other Over-The-Counter cold sore product heals your cold sore faster.
Apply it directly to the cold sore at the first sign of a tingle, redness, bump or itch for best results. However, use a separate applicator, like a cotton swab, to apply cosmetics over an unhealed cold sore to avoid spreading the infection.
