I have been to the Doctor twice and he has been treating it as cold sores but nothing is working. The rash goes about a half an inch above and below my upper and lower lips. My lips are dry and painful. Lip balms relieve the the dryness and I put vasiline on them at night. the dr first prescribed Alebra….and after 10 days valtrex….nothing is working. Any suggestions?
I’ve been on the pill for about a month and a half now and in the past month alone I’ve had like four cold sores. It’s driving me crazy. I don’t have the money to keep buying Valtrex like this. Should I try going off the pill to see if the cold sores stop?
I know that cold sores are caused by the herpes virus. I was just wondering if taking the pill could have triggered all these outbreaks. Usually I only get them every few months.
