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.
Expert: A. Schuyler, NP replied 7 years ago. The Neosporin is good for keeping it moist, and will help it not get infected. You want the tent of the blister to remain as long as it will. With active little boys, that may not be long, so don't obsess if it's already broken. This should heal as well (probably before your vacation's over), and while there may be a scar in the short term, it should fade in a matter of weeks to months. Ask Your Own Health Question.
