Cold blisters come from a virus, the herpes virus and usually appear on the outside of your mouth area.
Many people have the virus but don't even know it, until they get an outbreak.
These outbreaks normally occur in winter, when you are feeling run down or stressed.
Here are some simple solutions.
1.
Apply Some Cold Comfort As soon as you sense any telltale tingling, forewarning you that a cold sore is actually developing.
Cover an ice cube in a washcloth and then keep it immediately over the prickling spot.
Ice the area 2-3 times each day for 15 -20 minutes at a time 2.
Keep your Blister Moist Pat your cold blister with a lip ointment like Blistex many times daily.
Never let your cold sore get very dried out.
It can crack, which can hold up restorative healing and add to the discomfort.
3.
Stop The Spread Keep your hands clean at all times, especially when you touch your face.
Any individual having cold blisters may want to use individual silverware, drinking cups, toothbrushes, and other toiletries.
4.
Stay away from Arginine Should you be prone to cold sores, it is suggested to keep away from nuts, chocolates, cereal whole grains, gelatine, carob, and raisins.
These kinds of foods contain an abundance of the amino acid arginine, that encourages the growth of the virus.
5.
Zinc Apply zinc sulfate creams to a cold sore every hour it first presents itself, and then several times each day after that.
Zinc sulfate puts a stop to the pain of your cold blister inside of a few hours.
