A cold sore is a common viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. The virus lives in your skin even on the cold sore area. The resulting fear of cold sores is a result of the production of the body’s natural defence mechanisms. The body’s natural defence mechanisms are the suppression of the virus by the body’s proteins, and the relaxation of the virus’s protective protective muscle groups. This reduces the intensity of cold sores.
The virus is highly contagious and the form of the cream plays a role in the spread of the infection. It also reduces the severity of cold sores.
Zovirax Cold Sore Cream. Works at tingle & blister. Clinically proven to improve healing and treat the virus.

Stages of the virus
After the itchy, tingly stage, the site of the cold sore gradually develops into a blister or a small group of blisters, surrounded by red and swollen skin.
After a day or so these burst to produce the typical open sore.
Like a sore anywhere on your body, these sores gradually dry up and form a crusty scab, which is usually a yellow-brown colour.
The sore gradually heals.
The scab falls off over a few days and should completely disappear after around 10 days, or faster with the use of Zovirax Cold Sore Cream.
The area may be a bit swollen for few days.
