Franz: I’m just glad I’m not the only one with this affliction. It’s good to know the “nasty lip brigade” is in full effect.

Yeah when i have a cold sore i always bust out the lotion, I thought this article was damn funny about the whip your dick out and sing B 52 songs cuz seriously, Herpecin L it works so good, but everynow and then that shit falls out of your pocket and it’s awkward as hell, I’ve only caught it once the taking the valtrex before the outbreak happened and it worked really well, you can also put ice on it at 1st and it kind of supress’s it until you can get valtrex or its brother which is cheaper called acyplytine or somethin like that I used it for the 1st time like 2 weeks ago and it worked very well and only cost me 10$ compared to the 45$ i spent on valtrex for lip cold sores. I don’t remember ever kissing a girl with a cold sore either, it probably came from my smoking pot days, so always wrap it up try to find your soul mate and stay monogomous

nicole: It’s probably a wonder I’m not dead. Of course I’m probably immune to a whole host of germs because I exposed myself to so many at an early age.

When you put it that way it’s a miracle we ALL weren’t sporting cold sores back in grade school. We thought nothing of drinking after others or eating food straight off the floor. Five second rule prevailed.

Eddie: Surprisingly, no. Contrary to popular belief, I’m one of those conscientious people who try and not spread my diseases around.

Furtive Wangler: I’m glad I have someone to share my shame with.

Phoenix: OK, you’re not helping. I don’t know if I really needed to know that.

As far as remedies, I might try Lysine, but I’ll be damned if I’ll ask my doctor for a drug that’s marketed for genital herpes outbreaks.

Poobah: Yeah, it is all about perspective. I’d probably be a little more upset if I had the flesh eating bacteria.

And I did end up lying to someone at work today abotu what it was. I said it was something I got camping and just kept picking at.

I feel your pain bruddah, but in the vast pantheon of infectious diseases, cold sores are pretty low-scale. Buck up. Just tell people a pit bull attacked your lip and you’ll get their sympathy vote.

Cold sores on the mouth can EASILY become herpes on the genitals as well. That’s the scary thing.

Some things I know have helped others:

1)Lysine. Buy this supplement pretty much anywhere. It helps ward off the virus.

2)Valtrex. It’s a dark blue pill, and your doctor can give you a prescription for it. I’ve read it can make a cold sore disappear if you take Valtrex early enough.

I share your shame being similarly afflicted :(
I find whenever my resistant is low and sometimes without warning, the coldsore strikes with precise venom. The little bastards!

Dawn: “Cootie Lip Cream” would have been better than what they went with.
