Customer Reviews of Herpecin-L Lip Balm Stick, 30 SPF, 0.1 Ounce
Customer Review: Dentist Says This Product is nothing More Than A Sunscreen
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a dentist who sees a lot of people with cold sores, which is reactivation of a previous childhood bout of Herpes. The cold sore is the virus replicating as a result of some sort of stress that decreases one's immune system.
This product is a sunscreen and has no other medicines that are proven effective in treating cold sores. I'd rather spend my money on a bip balm with a sun protection factor of 30+.
If you are looking for a better over-the-counter product, I'd recommend ABBREVA. Abbreva has been shown in clinical studies to be effective, but the key with this treatment or any other for that matter is to start when you first feel the tingling of another cold sore coming on. If you wait and the cold sore erupts, virtually nothing will relieve it except time and your own immune response. So start applying Abbreva immediately for the best chance to limit the development of the cold sore.
Your dentist or doctor can prescribe anti-virals in either a topical form or a tablet form for severe cold sore cases, but once again, if it is not started immediately, the cold sore will develop and stay with you for 10 days or so. Ask for Zovirax or Denavir.
Always use a lip balm with sunscreen and too much sunlight can trigger a cold sore.
Abbreva is a good product. As with any product, it will not work in everyone who tries it - but it is certainly worth a try.
