Coldsores

in Shop but don't drop
For those of us who suffer from coldsores. Just been into my local poundland and they're selling Galpharm cold sore cream for £1 .Its 5% aciclover which is the same magical ingredient as Zovirax at a fraction of the price.
It nipped my little tingles in the bud straight away!!
(cold sore sufferers will know what I mean)

    Thanks you that, I haven't had a cold sore in years but this year on holiday SIX appeared all round my mouth!
    People who we met on the first week saw me on the second and just stood and stared.......
    But if ever I stray from the path I follow
    Take me down to the English Channel
    Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!

    Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more

    it's not for use on genital herpes though,

    Worth reading up on L-Lysine supplements for coldsores too, I'm convinced I'm now resistant to galpharm and zovirax and an taking this at the mo to prevent my usual start of winter nose-sores:mad:
