Suggest Treatment For Cold Sores On The Face

Hi, I have been having ongoing skin problems for many months and been lacking in energy and feeling exhausted. Continual cold sore virus on face/ nostril area. Abcess type lesions and impetigo. Numerous antibiotics. Tested for dermatitis hepitformis- negative. Some gastro probs at times. Recently blood test showing 176 for B12. Still awaiting results for pernicious anaemia. About to commence B12 injections. can my cold sore/ skin problems be attributed to low B12 levels and will this likely stop my cold sore outbreaks? Thanks.

Hi,

The vitamin B 12 intake can improve your skin conditions and your immune system. You can try acyclovir ointment for viral cold sores.
