Zovirax is the only product that I have tried which works. Good luck!

Edit: Oh yeah, it's a prescription drug.. so ask your doctor.

Zovirax eh....hmm...interesting

 

[Andem]

Yep. It is the only thing that works for me. Sometime it even stops it if you put it on right when you get the tingling feeling. But usually, it makes atleast a small appearance before it disappears (rapidly with Zovirax).

Try a very hot iron poker, place it into a fire pit untill it becomes red hot. Place it directly on the infeckted area. Also, you could try the ol " Grey Poupon Poultis"... Let me know how you make out..

I find that plenty of rest helps to keep coldsores at bay, too. Don't over-exert yourself.
