How to Heal a Cold Sore

I wanted to talk to you about how to heal a cold sore. There are a lot of people that have breakouts of this problem all the time and it’s really sad. When I talk to most people they usually give me insight into what they think the problem is. I’ve heard people tell me that it was caused by some sort of infection or just by simple aggravation. The fact is that it is created by an incurable virus that is in your body. It isn’t as bad as it sounds, but it’s the way it is. HSV-1 is the virus that creates it and it can’t be cured because the virus lays dormant in your nerve cells where the body can’t fight it. I’m going to talk to you about how to heal a cold sore.

A cold sore is an event that will last about 10-14 days during an outbreak and the severity is really dependent on the person. Some people will only feel a tingling sensation, while others will experience real pain. Typically you’ll have the cold sore for a few days before it eventually cracks open and starts oozing liquid. That liquid is just pure HSV-1 and you don’t want to spread that around. Eventually it will crust over with a scab until the sore is completely gone.

When it comes to how to heal a cold sore, you’ll want to keep the sore clean and avoid aggravation. It’s very important to keep things very clean when the sore starts oozing. This is where the sore will tend to spread and you don’t want to end up with more sores. Keep things clean and also keep your hands clean. This will help with the healing process.
