Did you know over half of the world’s population has HSV-1, the virus responsible for cold sores? I didn’t! I figured since cold sores and oral herpes isn’t a viral topic (see what I did there?) that less people were actually infected. Cold weather and cold sores go hand in hand so there’s no better time to talk about cold sore remedies and how to break the stigma.

I haven’t had a cold sore since I was in high school but I remember being absolutely miserable. It hurt, it was chapped and above all it was embarrassing. I wish more people knew just how common they can be and how accessible cold sore treatments are.

Cold weather, windy weather, stress and weakened immune systems can all trigger cold sore breakouts.. Thankfully, Campho Phenique® Cold Sore Treatment Gel promotes healing and can help lessen the pain.

Having a good cold sore medicine in your medicine cabinet can make all the difference in the world when an outbreak hits.
