Zovirax is a cold sore cream. It is used to treat cold sores and is clinically proven to improve healing. Zovirax can help kill viruses that cause cold sores.

Cold sore cream such as Zovirax contains the active ingredient Aciclovir. This medicine belongs to a group of antivirals which treat viruses that cause cold sores. It is also usedful for treating the Herpes simplex virus. Zovirax can be used in treating cold sores on the lips and face.

Apply Zovirax cream to the affected area up to five times a day. Use it approximately once every four hours for up to four days. First, wash your hands. Next apply the cream to a cotton swab, or your fingers. If you use your fingers for application, wash again when finished. Completely cover the cold sore with cream and the area surrounding the sore.

Cold sores are common and can usually clear up without assistance within 10 days. However, they can be painful and there are medications such as Zovirax cream that can help manage the pain, as well as kill the viruses that cause bacteria on the surface so it does not spread. Typically, cold sores start with a burning, itching and tingling sensation on the lip.

Cold sores will form a blister which will grow and finally burst, thereafter crusting over into a scab. Cold sores are contagious, you should not touch them (or wash your hands immediately if you do). Online pharmacists can prescribe creams that ease pain and reduce irritation, as well as antiviral creams which can speed up healing time and reduce the contagiousness of the blister by killing viruses on the surface of your skin.

You should begin using cold sore cream the instant you feel the initial tingling, burning or itching sensation in your skin. Cold sore medication will work better if you begin using them early, and are less effective after the cold sore has already begun to blister.
