So you have a big interview coming up, or maybe just an event where you want to look your best. Of course, you're not surprised when you notice a cold sore start forming, which is harder to effectively cover than most other blemishes. This is the easiest and cheapest way to help fight it!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Black tea bag
  • Water
Step1
Dip the teabag in a cup of water just long enough to get thoroughly wet. Remove, and let excess water drip off.
Step2
Hold teabag on cold sore for as long as you can. The longer amount of time, the better, but usually about 45 minutes to an hour twice a day until it goes away is good enough.
Step3
When the teabag starts to dry out, just dip it back into water. One bag can be used until it starts

Tips & Warnings

  • Try this at night before you go to bed or while surfing the internet or watching tv.
  • The longer you can keep it on the better, so trying this while you have no other tasks that involves the use of both hands may allow you to keep it even longer.
  • I did this for maybe three hours all in one night, and by the following night, the bump was almost completely gone!!
