Cold Sore Home Cures & Home Remedies
Nail Polish Cold Sore Home Cure
Try using standard nail polish remover along with polysporin. I felt the beginning twinges of a cold sore approaching and I read this. Dip a q tip in the nail polish remover and then hold it on the sore spot for five minutes. This can really sting. After that put polysporin on it to calm things down. It really worked good for me!

Here is a really good cold sore home remedy. As long as you take L-lysine in 1,000 mg doses once each week, you will not get them. If an attack is already underway, at the first notice of tingling in the lips or mouth, take 3,000 mgs once a day and the odds are very good that the sore will not manifest. It does not take a lot of lysine to keep this problem at bay. The lysine causes the herpes virus to mutate and because of this the virus cannot replicate itself and so the outbreak comes to an end. I used to have an awful problem with these sores and since I began taking lysine, I have stopped getting them altogether. As long as I take one capsule per week – no problem.
