Another danged cold sore!

[Lisa]

Just cleared one up not that long ago...had my Remicade on Monday, by Tuesday morning I had a cold sore popping out on my uper lip....right under my nose on the 'bow' section...of course it is this nice lump, with no sign of weeping yet - and I keep hitting it! Aside from that, I bit theinside of my mouth last week, near the front, and now I keep biting it while eating since it is swollen.....grrrrrrrr

vent over, off to pull a fire alarm in a building and send a few hundred people out into the humid weather!...and yes, it is 'legal'.....for me at least!!!!! (Don't try this at home or you could get an escort to jail!):hallo3:

I feel for you. I kept getting them when I was in full flare and they were 'crackers' as we say here -sometimes even extending to the inside of my nose. Yuk! Do you put anything on them?

When I feel a cold sore just starting, I put Abreva on it and it never even forms into one.
Have you tried that?

Oooh i feel your pain im always getting them UNTIL i found miracle cure (in my eyes lol) Aciclovir tablets double dose as on Infliximab. Also hit it hard with Aciclovir cream. Stops them in their tracks. Also tend to pop a pill after Infliximab transfusion just in case. Keep it clean and whack some cream on it. Good luck

When I feel one starting I put a dab of perfume on it and it stops it in its tracks... stings like blazes though but it works.

I have Zovirax creme - think it is the same thing? I used that yesterday...has stopped it from coming totally to a head.....good thought on using it right after the remicade - of course this popped up right away. I also don't just use it on the sore, but all over to help others from forming.

Yes - I have gotten them in/around my nose too - that SUCKS!
