when I was 16 i got a cold sore on my bottom lip, but I didnt know at the time that that’s what it was, I thought it was a pimple or something and i popped it. a few minutes later that side of my bottom lip got swelled and then by the end of the day the other side got swelled and i ended up w/ this swelled bottom lip. i was told that any cold sore lip treatment can do the trick so i had gotten Blistex and put it on my lip but I guess i was to late because the damage had already been done.

Now, my lip didnt swell big time or anything jsut a small swell but it still looks weird to me and I dont like it, I’ve learned to live with it and hide it and all.
Now I’m 20 and I got a similiar looking sore on my lip yesterday and I didnt pop it but I put on some blistex medication and when I woke up this morning it was gone. I had a doctor check up today and I told her about it and she told me there’s a medication called Benadryl that can deal w/ the swelling. Now my question is can it heal my swelling from when I was 16 and bring my bottom lip to the size it was b4? Or is there anything I cant do? I’m not really allergic to anything either so is benadryl a good option or are there better ones?

Chained asked:
I have extremely sensitive lips. They dry and crack so easily that I have to apply lip balm to them a few times each day, or else they get scaled and sometimes bleed. The last cold sore I had was huge and I went to the doctor with it. He gave me a treatment for it and it still never went away until a whole week. I hate being seen with them, and now I’ve got another one. The doctor told me they are random and nothing can be done about them. I don’t have any physical contact with any other people, I’m 17 and wope up today and applied the lip balm as usual and later on a cold sore appeared. It’s like two small white bubbles at first and eventually they combine into one big one.

jenny asked:
I get a cold sore every couple of moths. They are sore and look horrible. Sometimes i get one and it isnt so bad and fades away within a few days but others it can be really big and last for ages. On the night of my prom i had 4 coldsores on different parts of my mouth. I got a coldsore for the first time when i was about 3 and have been getting them regularly ever since. Basically i am sick of it. Does anyone know of a treatment that will effectivley decrease if not stop the regularity and size of the cold sores? I use zovirax and although it does usually make it smaller and not last so long it doesnt prevent getting them and it isnt always effective. Please help
