âI love that Iâve had the opportunity to open thousands of peopleâs eyes to the ripple effect that one person can have on another. One of the absolute best things an activist can do is train new activists, and working with Grassroots has allowed me to do that on a daily basis.
Cold sores are caused by a Herpes Virus (HSV-I not the genital variety HSV-II). Abreva is a topical medication that can help fight and speed healing of cold sores. Abreva is over the counter in the USA. Neosporin will not keep the virus from spreading but could help it from becoming secondarily infected with bacteria. Neosporin contains 3 antibiotics: Neomycin, Bacitracin and Polymyxin.
Thereâs a delicate balance with acne and moisturizing and that could explain why triple antibiotic ointments, such as Neosporin, can make your acne seem like itâs improving. Neosporinâs ingredients are intended as a wound-healing aid, which means while they wonât kill acne bacteria, they will help skin to heal. Moisturizing helps to heal the appearance of scars, and works even better under something occlusive, like petrolatum (International Journal of Cosmetic Science).
