Cold Sore Home Remedies - Can You Take It?

By C. Sorrenado

Interested in some cold sore home remedies? Those sores always pop up at the worst of times and they're not all that easy to hide. Not only are they unsightly, but they also hurt!

If you're sick and tired of the constant breakouts and want something that will finally get rid of them and do it quickly, these solutions are your best bet:

1. Bleach The Sore

The first of the cold sore home remedies I'm going to touch on will have you use bleach on your sore. It's quite over the top, bleach is a powerful chemical, if you're not careful you can wind up with a small scar so be careful.

What you have to do is wet the tip of a cotton swab with some water then place that into a bottle of bleach, this process should dilute things well enough. Then what you need to do is squeeze out the excess fluid from the swab and place the swab on the sore.

This will sting, but if you leave the swab on the sore for around 3 minutes, it will work to stop it's development and help kill it off.

2. Peroxide Mix + Nail Polish Remover

Here's another intense solution for you, use at your own risk. Sterilize a needle and pop your cold sore letting the fluid out. Next, apply some nail polish remover to a Q-Tip and place that over the sore for 20-30 minutes.

After this, mix up some salt, peroxide and crushed Asprin, this will form the second part of the torture, I mean treatment. What you'll do is dip a Q-Tip into this and dab it onto the affected area and leave that on to dry. Next, head off to bed with this left on and when you get up the next day it should have shrunk down.

These cold sore home remedies are rough, there's no doubt about it and if you're not careful you might wind up with a little scar, be careful.

If you want a safer alternative that is not going to cause trauma, there are other options, you don't have to go with these types of remedies. - 14130
