How to get rid of a cold sore off my nose?

How do I get rid of a cold sore on my nose?

  • I've had a cold all week and now I have sore on the bottonm of my nostril that really hurts and just looks plain gross. Plus Tommorrow is Friday and I don't want to walk around wtih this disgusting thing on my nose. I know I can't make it go away over night but anything would help.I know It's gross but somebody has got to know something.

  • Answer:

    Go to the doctor and request Zovirax. It worked for me in about a day and is much better than using Abreva. Another thing... I find that taking lysine (look for it in the vitamins and supplements aisle) once a day prevents them (lysine also happens to be the main ingredient in most cold sore medications, I haven't had one since and I usually get 2-3 outbreaks a year.

I REALLY wanted you to know that you can EASILY never have to deal with another horrible, awful, nasty cold-sore for the rest of your life!! I got them every winter my whole life until 3 years ago (I'm 36 now) and they were the BANE of my existence...the whole process took weeks to heal and would leave a scar for at least 2 months sometimes! I was reading a message board on www.curezone.org and discovered the PERFECT remedy for both healing them and preventing them completely: OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT So, I buy the liquid tincture by "HerbPharm" and it has not failed me ONCE...Whenever I'm feeling drained, tired, stressed, or get that tingly feeling on my lip, I just load up on this stuff. This is the one I buy: http://www.nextag.com/Herb-Pharm-Olive-Leaf-66659849/prices-html You can also get Olive Leaf at Whole Foods Market, and other natural food stores. Very cheap. The first time I tried it, I was actually halfway into a major eruption and I drank a bunch of the extract in some water. AS I WAS DRINKING the stuff down, I could feel the swelling on my lip shrinking...I was in such shock--I ran to the mirror--it was shrinking before my eyes and within ten minutes my lip had returned to NORMAL...I began kissing the bottle of Olive Leaf...yeah, I really did!! I had tried everything in the past...I can't begin to tell you what I went through...and it's now been 3 YEARS since I've had one!

You can also try vitamin A & D ointment.

I have had that type of sore on my nose as well. Use neosporin at night, lots of it. during day be sure to keep moist as if it is dry, it will tear again and not repair. Keep vaseline or heavy eye cream on sore; if going out use cover stick. good luck . Liz

Try lotion Kleenex when wiping your nose. Cheep ones are so harsh on your skin! I know this doesn't exactly answer your initial question but, it's just a thought.

thing do happen sometime which we dont want ...and sometime it wont happen when we want them to happen. look i am doctor of medicine ...i know it hurts and also it looks bad but telling you true just dont worry about that ...forget about it .....i always say ....what you are is always nice ....and i bet you even if you are most beautifull in world ... even then there will be people who will not say you good. so just have a cool nape .....let it finish off itself ....and say so what it will go away itself i wish you all best .

put lotion on it preferably without an alchol in the lotion or else it will burn.

Use Aquaphor, or a little bit of carmex.
