    Try a bit of sudocrem if all else fails.

    Perfume or Aftershave is much better. I'm not joking.

    It's licenced for pharmacy only. There's probably one pharmacy open in your area on a Sunday at least. I know the feeling, I started getting one in the US years ago and it hadn't been licenced there at all. Felt it would be less painful to cut my whole lip off.

    You should buy Viralief it is the exact same active ingredient as Zovirax its cheaper and is made in Ireland. If you cant get any put an ice cube in a teat towel and apply to the area or placa a tea bag on the area (not joking).

    Damn the herpe, once you get it you got it.

    Aftershave is good for it though.

    Don't wear a bra for the date to deflect attention from the cold sore.

    Hi Op I feel your pain! Horrible things altogether.
    Why dont you run out and pick up a pack of compeed patches? I know they sell them in my local supervalu and lots of shops stock them tbh I havent bothered with zoivrax since i discovered them. I think they are much better! Hope this helps:D

    Pharmacy only but ask for cold sore cream made in Ireand- same ingredients and €3-4 cheaper. Think its called Virocept.

    Oooooo a herpes thread! Threading with the Herpes massif!

    You can ONLY get it in a Pharmacy. Zovoirax that is. Not herpes.

    Some of them counter girls looks a bit "dodgy" if you catch my drift ;)

    i feel your pain, i have three on my bottom lip and one on my top lip. the top lip one appeared this morning...got a conference next week n really dont need the self consciousness of cold sores! damn turkish sun and my cold....

    in answer to question, zovirax is only sold in pharmacy indeed. viralief is great but i cant find it in my pharmacies

    good tip, if you head to mainland europe or turkey stock up on zovirax, its half the price....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭upandcumming


    Fucking price of it though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko

    You shouldn't perform oral sex on your other half when you have a Cold sore on your lips and you can give them Herpes on your Genitalia.
