Ok so this is minor I know but I have this massive cold sore on my top lip, I've got them since I was a kid but not had one for years but I think the anxiety over the past week has possibly helped the flare up.
I'll tell you why it's the mother of all nightmare.. I start my new job on Tuesday!
Please, any help much appreciated! I've been using zoviarax on it for 2 days yet it's just bigger!
I can't go back, but I can appreciate what I have right now, and I can define myself by what I am, instead of what I'm not. I'm alive. Everything else is negotiable.

Go and see the doc and they can give you something to take orally - they did for me

I think there is a tablet that the doctor can prescribe, but they are a bit reluctant to do so, for some reason. In my expereience, it seems the only way to get rid of cold sores is to ride them out. If I ever get them, I apply Zovirax or similar more often than the pack suggests - like every hour. Seems to heal the process and dry them out quicker.

These things ALWAYS happen just before you start a new job
I once got bitten by a parrot on the face and hand the night before I started a new job. Considering it was a call centre job I felt a bit silly turning up with a bandaged ear and strapped fingers.
Sorry that probably hasn't helped with the cold sore
