Suggest Remedies For Cold Sores On Lips And Face

hi, I have a burn like cold sore near my lip but I have noticed that I have 2 other small burn like marks on my face in different places. I usually get cold sores but this is more like a burn. I have been using Cymex cream but it doesn't seem to be working like it usually does. It Is a little itchy and very sore. I am concerned as I have noticed the other 2 marks appear in the last 24 hours.

Thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold sores on lips and face which seems to be due to stress, irritation of mucosa, vitamin deficiency, herpes infection and underlying diseases that weaken immune system. Need not to worry. They usually go away by their own. You should apply some antimicrobial ointment. You should start multivitamin supplement containing vitamin B12 and folic acid and apply gel containing benzocaine for pain. Avoid sharp food and sun exposure. If condition persists weeks consult dentist for proper examination and to rule out other causes. Doctor will start treatment after complete examination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
