Herpes Simplex
"Abreva worked for me up until now. It seems to make it worse. I have tried other things lately because the Abreva isn&#039;t cutting the healing time at all. Note, I have been soaking a cotton ball in whole milk and applying it for 5-10 minutes every 2 hours. It takes away the inflammation of the cold sore, feels much more better, blends in with my skin... The milk has antiviral and bacterial properties that help. Try it!"
