The blister unleashed and strikes back

Tuesday morning - Small blister on the lower lip. Salt paste (I found on the NET that this is an effective way to fight back, as I did not wanted to use strong medicine like Zovirax because of the baby-making-process we are in).

Tuesday afternoon - A second blister appears next to the first one. More salt paste!

Wednesday morning - Two blisters. Ugly and red as hell! Local pharmacy. Cymex cream (pharmacist's recommendation).

Wednesday afternoon - Two blisters. No improvement. Sore, itchy.

Thursday morning - GP. Viralief cream (Aciclovir, the active ingredient, works by slowing down the virus. If used early enough, it has been shown to stop cold sores developing and speed up the healing of cold sore blisters. To be used for 5 days.

My advice, never try the salt paste!!
