Cold sores on lip

2017-11-27 13:57:40
I was caught by cold sores 8 days back.. have been trying cleaning it with dettol and applying vaseline jelly on it. But it didn't help. It started with lips but it got spread to cheek also. What to do please help.although it doesn't itch anymore like it used to 8 days back but it's really embarrassing to go out as it looks ugly.

Firstly, stop applying dettol - which itself can be an irritant. See a dermatologsit or send in pictures on practo direct consult - so that a diagnosis can be made and treatment be prescribed. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal. Bengaluru.
