Hydrocolloid or pimple patches are generally not recommended for cold sores around the lip, as they are designed for acne and may not provide the appropriate treatment for the herpes simplex virus causing cold sores.
For cold sores, antiviral creams or ointments are commonly used for faster healing.
It's crucial to start antiviral treatment at the first sign of a cold sore for the best results. If you're unsure or if the cold sore persists, consulting me for personalized advice and prescription options is recommended.
