Get Rid of Cold Sores

Cold sores are brought by the Herps Simplex Virus and are also know as fever blisters. One of the most common annoying disease, cold sores can be observed in the form of red spots. These spots will slowly start to gather moisture which will increase the irritation and itching sensation in the skin. This is usually found in genitals, lips and mouth. 
Common reason of getting a cold sore is direct skin contact via oral sex, touching or kissing. Use of toothbrush, drinking glasses or towels can carry the herpes simplex virus and get transferred to the other person who uses them. If you suspect anybody suffering from cold sores, avoid any direct contact of skin and using their stuff. When you are stressed you get more vulnerable to the cold sores.
Make sure that you follow the below mentioned things to get rid of the cold sores:
1. Try to keep the area dry where you sense cold sore. Dirt and moisture are needed to swell the cold sore. If you are successful in keeping the area dry all the time then healing process will not take any long.
2. Change your toothbrush when you discover about your cold sore. Old toothbrush keeps cold sore coming back making it necessary to replace your toothbrush. Avoid touching the toothpaste tube with your toothbrush.
3. If the cold sore is bursting out, apply zinc sulphate on it. A zinc sulphate tube can be availed from a nearby pharmacy store.
4. Tea bad, Echinacea, tea tree oil and lemon balm if applied directly on the cold sore can cure it effectively.
5. Give your body a healthy diet with a nice sleep to cure itself from the cold sore.
Above are a few methods that will help you reduce or completely eradicate cold sore from your skin.
