Cold sores are never a good thing. They are painful, unsightly looking and can often linger around for much longer than only a few days. There are several ways to manage and obliterate cold sores. First of all there are prescription medicnes out there on the market that can be extemely effective. Another option is over the counter topical medicines that usually come as creams or ointments.

Soem people also find success with home remedies such as dabbing a bit of bleach on the cold sore. Cold sores usually pop up in response to stress or sometimes as a result of eating a diet that is too acidic. if you are getting a lot of cold sores you might want to look at changing your diet and lifestyle so that you can minimize your risks for reoccurance.
