Constantly having to deal with cold sores can be a major headache
. They can be extremely painful and can take forever for them to fade away. If you keep poking at them they can become irritated and turn red and blistered. It can be hard to want to go in public when your just thinking about how to get rid of cold sores. When they get really red and irritated it can draw much unwanted attention.
I had experienced a time when I planned to go out on a date and we planned it a week away. I was really looking forward to it and even bought a cute shirt for the evening. Two days before my date I noticed that my lip had huge bump that I knew was not a pimple. I tried popping it and even covering it up with makeup and nothing would seem to do the trick. From messing with it soo much it grew really huge and red and no matter how much makeup I would pile on you could clearly see the big bump on my face.
I had know knowledge on how to get rid of cold sores and my date was only one day away. I decided to push our date one more week away and went to the doctor to get a prescription for an expensive cream to clear it up for me. After about 5 days it was back to normal and I was ready for my date. I know that there are some treatments that can get them removed alot sooner but since I was strapped for time I had no choice in going to the doctor.
