Abreva cream is specifically designed to treat and heal cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). Cold sores are small, fluid-filled blisters that develop on the lips or around the mouth. They can be painful and unsightly, which is why some people turn to natural remedies for cold sores, such as taking lysine supplements, when they get one. The hope is that the cold sore will heal faster, but most natural remedies can only provide superficial symptom relief. For clinically proven cold sore treatment, turn to Abreva – #1 Pharmacist Recommended and #1 Most Trusted for good reason!
Some find it hard to tell the difference between a cold sore and a pimple. Pimples can appear anywhere on the face and typically he a white or black head, whereas cold sores usually form multiple liquid-filled blisters that later crust over. If in doubt, ask a pharmacist.
