what to do about scar on my lip from repeating cold sores?

i would put a tiny bit of ZOVIRAX cream on  where you get cold sore everyday( prevention better than cure ) and you won't get cold sore in future.also are you sure it is a cold sore ? if scar is big and obvious a plastic surgeon can remove the scar and healthy underlying tissue should grow to fill where the scar was and your lip will look normal again

well that happens to me sometimes. i use aquaphor (my lips can get very easily chapped) and apply it twice a day. its like vaseline. so if u dont have that, i would highly recommend vaseline. put alot of it  on too, its very soothing and try not to open your mouth much ok? hope this helps! (i did this when i got my wisdom teeth removed since i also had a cracked lip on the side of my mouth but i used aquaphor instead)

for best results with cold sore simmer eucalyptus leaves and take deep breaths on the simmering steam.\nto loose excess fat on your backside try leg exercises and going up on stairs.

Try Blistex or some Bacitracin (antibiotic ointment).  Some people get sores or blisters and rash around the mouth from foods with lots of acid in them. AVOID LICKING YOUR LIPS!!!!!  Keep them clean and dry.  Too much oj or grapefruit juice irritates my mouth.

If you have a herpes virus that causes these ulcers to come up when you irritate your tongue, lips, or cheeks, there is an oral medication called Acyclovir that will help it heal.  However, we all bite our tongues at times.  Your dentist can give you a medication called Ora-5 that will help the area feel better while it heals.  The only way to stop these areas from coming back is to be more careful when you eat.  Slow down, a lot of people bite themselves when they are in a hurry when they eat.  I hope this helps.

yes, I answered it earlier tonight.  Get a tea bag, place it in a cup, pour hot water over and let it sit.  Dunk it once or twice, then hold it up to drain.  Place the wet tea bag against the cold sore for a few minutes.  Repeat. dunk, drain, press.  The tanic acid in the tea leaves will give relief and help it to cure.  I've done this for many years.

The easiest home remedy is to apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water with a cotton swab) to the canker sore. Then dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on the canker 3-4 times a day. This is not only soothing, but appears to help healing.\n\nI think using a mouthwash such as listerine two to three times a day will keep the mouth clean/fresh and free of sores

There are lots of things on the market that would help. Blistex, Chapstick, etc.. One of the best and cheapest things you can use is just plain old Vaseline. If it is generic it will be called petroleum jelly. I keep a jar in my medicine cabinet just to use on my lips.

As with any kind of swelling, drink a lot of water. It will help your body to process the matter that have gathered under your lip to heal the injury.\n\nYou drink more water, the body can flush the damaged/unneeded cells and fluids back into the body where they can be reabsorbed and eliminated.\n\nAnd as you know, keep up the ice.

Gargle with warm salt water, peroxide diluted with water, or any kind of antiseptic mouthwash, every 2-4 hours, will help kill the germs and help keep bacteria in check, which should help them heal.  Will also help keep new ones from forming if used daily after the other ones have healed.\n\nThere is also over-the-counter ointments, that are applied directly to the ulcers  (canker sores), which help them heal faster.  Avoid smoking, no chewing on the ulcer or messing with them, avoid real aspirin and spicy foods.

Cold sores appear on your lips are they are usually pretty big, not like a small blister in your mouth. They also usually don't pop and go away. They can scab when they open up and it can take a while to heal. I don't think you had a cold sore, it doesn't sound like it anyway. \n\nBut yes, theoretically if you touch a cold sore and rub your genital area you can get genital herpes. It is REALLY rare to get it that way, but technically you could. If you have a herpes blisters and need to touch it for some reason you need to wash your hands really good after you touch it. You shouldn't be touching the sores anyway unless you are putting medication on them. The more you touch them, they more they can spread.

Vaseline or some type of medicated lip balm like Blistex

Try Neosporin. If you treat it quickly I've found that it wont scar as bad. If it does leave a scar, use cocoa butter on a daily basis, which should lighten it up

please tell everyone: coldcure.com, changed my life.\nwas prone to getting fever blisters for whatever reason. especially with fever and illness. \ncure: I take "nature made" zinc from wallgreens, and use it as an oral rins. this is preventitive and treatment.\n\n1) for first week rinse every day with one tablet.\n(I just put enough water in my mouth to rinse with, and then chew untill disolved, one 60mg tablet. This seems to be the quickest way. There is really no bad taste.)And make sure you rinse untill disolved, and try to rinse over any areas you feel might be infected. \n\n2)Rinse at least once a week thereafter.\n\n3)if you feel that little tingle on your lips, and you think one might be coming on, rinse once about every hour for 5 hours or so, and most importantly, a couple of times before you go to bed.\n\nI can not stress how well this has worked for me.\nI have had one reacurance of a full blown blister,over the past year,\nand that was after I had oral surgery and imediatly got the flu and was unable to rinse and treat.\n\nI have had the stomach flu twice, rinsed during and after my illnes, and did not get one.\nI have felt a couple bumps comming on, and began rinsing immediatly. the next morning they were COMPLETLY gone. It is allmost to good to be true.\n\nsimple and effective. hope this helps.

I have used ABREVA, it is very expensive, about 15 dlls but I think is good, also try to use any medication when u start feeling the blister, because if u star using now, it wont help much, also if you go to a walgreens they have a section where u can find mexican products , try vitacilina, it is not expensive and will help your lip heal fast
