What is a Cold Sore?

A cold sore is a common condition caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus that manifests itself in liquid-filled blisters around the lips, nose or chin.

How do I use Compeed Cold Sore Patch?

You can use the CompeedDiscreet Cold Sore patch at any stage of an outbreak. However, it is best to apply at the first sign of an outbreak – usually a tingling or itching sensation.
Wash your hands before and after applying the Compeed Discreet Cold Sore patch.
Compeed Discreet Cold Sore patch should be used 24 hours a day until the sore is healed* .
A patch will naturally detach after approximately 8 hours and should then be replaced with a new one.
Don’t remove the patch because you want the sore to ‘breathe’. This is actually counter-productive and can lengthen the healing* process. Keeping the patch on is clinically proven to ensure the optimal healing* environment is maintained.
