In a few months it will be summer, and you might already have a holiday booked. Whether you're off to the Caribbean for two weeks, Edinburgh for a couple of days, or haven't made any plans at all, there are probably two things you'd rather not see – rain, and a cold sore developing.
An outbreak is undesirable at any time of the year, but when you are going on holiday or just want to be outside more than usual to take advantage of the good weather, it's arguably even less welcome.
Whatever the cause of your cold sore – be it illness, stress, fatigue, over-exposure to UV light, or another trigger – you understandably want to find effective cold sore relief to send it on its way as quickly as possible.
It's important that you try not to pick or scratch at a cold sore, or smother it in concealer. Both of these actions can aggravate an outbreak, making it last longer and causing you more discomfort.
Also, we advise that you eat healthily, since this can boost your immune system and help fight the HSV-1 cold sore virus.
Applying Herstat ointment from the outset of an outbreak has been clinically proven in trials to rid participants of all symptoms in an average of seven days. Not only this, but Herstat can be applied at any point during an outbreak and still be effective.
