Anyone who knows me can tell you that cold sores have been a probelm for me almost my entire life. I get them on my nose and it gets awful. Blah. Aaand it so happens that I stumbled upon L-Lysine, which so far has proven to be the best cure for the cold sores ever.
So L-Lysine is an alpha amino acid, which the human body can not produce itself. And with a poor diet (like mine, and I think like most young people's) you don't get enough L-Lysine. And that's bad. Why? Because L-Lysine fights the herpes virus, speeds up the healing processes of the body etc. And cold sores are caused by the herpes virus... Nasty little things.
L-Lysine is available in a food supplement form. I reccomend all you girls/guys suffering like me to run to the next drugstore and buy this. Now. I bought it after I had two huge breakouts on my nose, just 2 weeks apart. I was so desperate and went for this, thinking "what the hell, it won't do any harm". But all it did was good. I've taken my third tablet today and my cold sore is no longer red and painful, it's just formed a crust a lot faster than usual. It works wonders in my oppinion, and many other people on forums (thank god for forums.. ) think it's the best, too. L-lysine is a great immune system booster, too, so here's to another perk!
If I can helped just a single person with this, I'll be a happy girl, because I've suffered from this long enough. So, do try this if you're like me!
Do any of you have the same problem and what are your best remedies?
