How can one expect and be prepared for an coldsore? Unlike other skin diseases such as acne, ColdSores transmit an warning sign before deciding to break out on your face or genital area.
Known as an Prodrome, the warning system comes in the form of a tingling sensation within the area where the coldsore looks to strike. First, it will tingle like the area was rubbed. Then, slowly it will become irritable and slightly itchy, going into full out pain when the cold sore is ready to come out into the open.

At this stage, full on application of Tea Tree Oil as an topical will usually prevent the herpes from breaking out. Or, it will severely limit the spread of the outbreak, reducing the cold sore to nothingness. If Tea Tree Oil isn’t handy, you can try anything from Garlic Oil, Lysine Pills, or Toothpaste to prevent the breakout. Prevention is the best cure for Cold Sores.

2. However, if you are reading this, you are most likely have broken out with cold sores already so please follow these steps carefully.

Wash your face with your preferred cleanser, the most recommended is the Freeze 24.7 Daily Essentials. Freeze’s cleansers are specifically made for opening up the pores and keeping your skin as hydrated as possible, while squeezing out the oils.

2. Grab several cubes of ice, and put it in an ziploc bag. With a napkin over the ziploc bag, apply directly to the infected area.

3. You should hold the ice cubes 10-15 minutes to the coldsore, until the area becomes numb. Afterwards, apply your preferred or available topical treatment ( Tea Tree Oil and benzyl peroxide, Releev, Abreva, Zovirax etc..).

The medicine will take an hour or so to settle in.. Afterwards, simply repeated applying your topical of choice, and wash your face multiple times with a cleanser like Freeze 24.7.
