cold sores.

[Mrs-N]

oh my goodness ive got cold sores all over my face, there is about 4 on my face.
i usually suffer from cold sores but the last one i had was in september and i only usually get one and if im unlucky i have 2, but 4 whats going on.

they dont seems to be budging.
i know that they are only cold sores but it gets me so down.

i suffer from coldsores and have found i suffer more with them if im ill or run-down and tired.

luckily *fingers crossed* i havent had many this pregnancy so far!

 

[Mrs-N]

yes i usually get them when ill or run down. i have just got over a cold so it might be that, its just they are uncomfortable. thanks x x

 

[Tezzy]

i hope they go for you soon, it probably is because you've had a cold. i dont get them more just because im pregnant..

i hope they clear up soon for you x

 

[babe2ooo]

hey thats really funny cause i have one 2 and you know what i havent had one since i was about 7, so i think you get more when your pregnant

ugh cold sores have a way of putting you in an instant bad mood i also get them and got two while being pregnant - i think really just from being run down and not the actual pregnancy
i have an excellent cream i use for them but wasnt sure it was safe for pregnancy looked it up on the pharmaceutical website but it wasnt clear so i just let them go away on their own.

hope you feel better

 

[Mrs-N]

ive used every cream but dont seem to work.
i know it sounds weird but the only thing that works is aquafresh toothpaste, no other toothpaste works but aquafresh drys up when its on a sore and i think it takes all the moisture out of sore and kills it. other toothpaste seems to feed it.
thanks x x

mrs newbury the cream i use is callled zovirax - it has always helped within two days to dry them out , as i said the reports were conflicting with regards to pregnancy and u would have to ask the doctor

 

[Mrs-N]

yes i have used that and they seem to get worse and bigger. it seems like its feeding it.

 

[cupcake]

oh no!!

God...i suffer from those buggers too! So far in my pregnancy, I have only suffered one breakout...but I had multiple ones. *fingers crossed* I don't get any more for a while. I hate them

I had 11 at once about 10 years ago - it was the worst pain I had ever been in. There was no rhyme or reason. Now I usually get them around my period - affected by hormones. I have not had any since I found out I was PG, but Abreva always works for me.
