Zovirax Cold Sore Cream, 2g
Introducing Zovirax Cold Sore Cream, the fast-acting solution for cold sore relief. If you experience the first signs of a cold sore – tingling and itching – don’t wait any longer to treat it. Apply Zovirax Cold Sore Cream and get on with your day. Not only does this cream help speed up healing, but it also contains aciclovir, an antiviral agent that helps reduce the duration and severity of symptoms.
What is a Cold sore?
A cold sore is an infection that is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which lies dormant in nerve cells supplying your lips and the surrounding skin.
When does the first infection occur?
The first infection usually occurs in early childhood, probably after being kissed by a person with the infection. The virus passes through the skin, travels up a nerve and stays in a nerve junction indefinitely.
What can trigger the virus?
Various things, including colds, ‘flu, menstruation, fatigue, emotional upset, stress, physical injury, bright sunlight and simply when you are feeling ‘run down’. Once triggered, the virus travels back down the nerve to the skin on and around the lips where it causes the cold sore to develop.
Remember – cold sores are infectious
The virus is capable of infecting other parts of the body. To reduce the risk of passing the infection on, do not allow others to touch your cold sore, or to share your towel, etc. You should avoid kissing and oral sex if you or your partner has an active cold sore. Always wash your hands before and after touching cold sores.
• Avoid touching your eyes. HSV infection of the eye can lead to ulcers on the window of the eye (cornea).
• Avoid kissing – especially children – when you have a cold sore.
• Don’t break the blisters or pick the scabs. Not only could you infect your cold sore with other germs, you may infect your fingers with the virus.
• Don’t share your eating and drinking utensils.
