I really hate cold sores. I get cold sores at least once a year. In between fall-winter.

Hi guys. I always suffer from cold sores on my upper lips every year and i learned how to deal with it. I lavish petroleum jelly on the affected part, daytime and nighttime. You have to keep it moist and avoid it to dry out. It just goes away after 2 days 😁

So glad I’m not the only one that gets these, just got them again for the first time under my nose..
