If cold sores are customary for us, we know how to recognize the first manifestations. 24 hours before:tingling, burning sensations, and the skin becomes a little red where the pimple will appear. This is when you have to act to limit the damage. First step:place an ice cube bag on the cold sore for several minutes and several times a day. It really limits the size of the button.
We don't fiddle with it! Otherwise it will show up even more. Worse, we risk infecting it. So before and after treating your pimple, don't forget to wash your hands. It is disinfected with lemon juice, which is applied with a compress on the pimple morning and evening. Then, to reduce the size of the button, it is dried with a few drops of essential oil of “tea tree” (tea tree), for example. If that doesn't work, we try another essential oil:that of niaouli. It stings too much? We dilute 1 tbsp. c. of baking soda in a few drops of water and apply the mixture to the pimple for 10 minutes. Good too, honey to leave on several times a day.
Homeopathy as a basic treatment. Not sure it works, but it's safe to try. At the first signs, take a dose of Vaccinotoxinum 9 ch. Then 5 granules, every 2 hours, of Rhustoxicodendron 15 ch. We add 5 granules of Staphysagria 9 ch, 4 times a day, if we find that the pushes are repeated following an annoyance.
