Mederma Cold Sore Discreet Healing Patch, 12 Hour Protection, 15 Count

Do not hesitate. Don’t second guess cause of the price. Buy these. I have ALWAYS struggled with the healing phase of my cold sores. I have creams. I have pills. But if I don’t catch the “rupture” in time? Two weeks of oozy, gooey, crusty, bloody lip. I considered buying these patches for years and never did. I know better now! Idk how they work, but I slap these bad boys on in the morning and I’m good alllllll day! One at night, no bloody pillow! For anyone this far in my review, I have some thoughts that helped mine stay on. 1) REALLY dry off the lip area. I washed my whole face with antibacterial soap and let it all dry like a desert. Applied lotion and oil after, avoiding the patch area. 2) I cut mine in half. Wasn’t easy, sometimes I would loose the other half cause it folded on itself. But honestly, I think this allowed mine to stay on with zero issue and some said theirs came off. I added a picture. No glamour or beauty to be found, but if you can manage it, in half was the trick I needed! At best, you double your product. At worst they stay on better and longer for the same amount.

I’ve had cold sores my entire life, and nothing helps like these do! It keeps the sore covered so I don’t have to worry about accidentally touching it, or food touching it. It shortened the healing time as well, and my most recent sore was completely healed and gone in a week!
