FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got you covered!
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Cold sore outbreaks, where a cold sore blister appears on the skin, are often triggered by temperature changes (for example, hot or cold weather). Additionally, stress and anxiety, amongst others, can also trigger a cold sore.
Cold sores generally heal in 7 - 12 days. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist if the cold sore does not heal or if it appears to get worse.
Though cold sore outbreaks can't be prevented, the following may minimize spread of cold sores and reduce the frequency of outbreaks:
Always wash your hands before and after touching the cold sore lesion.
Avoid kissing, sharing drinks and lip products until the sore has healed.
If you know the triggers for your cold sore, try to minimize your exposure. For example, you can apply lip balms with SPF if your cold sores are triggered by extreme weather.
It is not possible to avoid infection of the Cold Sore Virus or to completely avoid future outbreaks.
Compeed® Cold Sore Hydrocolloid technology is an active gel that acts like a second skin. It seals your cold sore, allowing acceleration of your body’s natural healing mechanism.
You can start to use when you first feel a tingle and continue using a patch day and night throughout the outbreak until the lesion is fully healed.
