Ingredients: Nail Polish Remover
Instructions: The Nail Polish Remover idea really works!!!!!I have been getting cold sores since 1st grade and have tried everything. I did a search yesterday on the net desperate to find something that works. I decided to try the nail polish remover. I applied it to my cold sore with a q-tip. I did this repeatedly yesterday and woke up this morning to a cold sore that is 90% better. It really helped to dry it up. In the past, I've used alcohol, salt, every over the counter medicine and nothing has worked as well as the nail polish remover. Who would have ever thought? I hate to admit that I'm a vain female, but my appearance is very important to me. When I get cold sores, I avoid being in public at all costs. I'm so relieved to find something that helps! To all of you who put the nail polish remover as a remedy out there...thank you!!!!! |
