Compeed Cold Sore Patch

Unfortunately, I happen to be one of the 8 out of 10 people who, on occasion suffer from cold sores. The last time I suffered with one, I was on the look out for something good, that would work fast on eliminating the wretched thing from my face. I've always used Zovirax in the past, but on the odd occasion I have tried other things, nothing has ever been any good.

I've suffered with cold sores for as long as I can remember. The creams have helped but they've never stopped the sore from developing and then going all horrible and scabby. I also know just how infectious they are and would hate to pass them on to anyone. Which is why, when the first one since the birth of my son, reared its ugly head I became rather worried.

I suffer from cold sores whenever the seasons change, if I am run down, if I am stressed or just because Mother Nature feels like a laugh! I have spent many a year trying to find the best solution to this unsightly and painful condition. Up until very recently I have been happily using Zovirax cream with great success (if I use it when I feel the tingle, 9 times out of 10 I don't get a cold sore and if I am too late and the blister has appeared, then it cuts down the healing time hugely and they are usually gone within three days) however, as many people find, the cream is a bit messy and you ... more

Unfortunately I am a cold sore sufferer… I do get the odd attack when I am run down, stressed or when I am coming down with a cold and until Compeed came on the market I was forced to leave my herpes exposed with a mountain of white Zovirax cream on top which inevitably I ended up swallowing anyway! Compeed is a totally innovative product and if you do suffer of cold sores I would definitely suggest you to give it a go! WHAT IS COMPEED? ********** Compeed is a medicated round sticky and transparent patch that goes on your cold sore. It basically contains the same ingredients as Zovirax and by ... more
