Cold Sores
"I&#039;m only 16 but I&#039;ve been getting cold sores since I was about 1 1/2 years old. I used to get them about at least once every two months but now that I&#039;m getting older I get them at least twice a year. I&#039;ve had so many troubles treating mine with medication and have tried everything!! When i get them I get them EVERYWHERE, I even have intense scar tissue on my chin from previous infections. Usually I let it takes it&#039;s natural course as medicines only seem to make it more painful. But my doctor prescribed Denavir and I tried it and at first I was skeptical, I had intense pain at application, but 10 minutes later the swelling was completely gone and had NO pain. I use it more as a pain reliever than anything else honestly."
