It absolutely suxs.. when a cold sore appears when you are just getting ready to go on a date or even just a night out with the girlfriends right.  It is just so coincidental.. it’s amazing how it happens all the time.  And donch you just hate it..!! i do .. !! HATE IT with a passion..!!  Well.. i now use Super Lysine Cream for any big night out or event at work.  And get relief and comfortable.. even if i was having it.  It comes with 15 natural healing ingredients.. that doesn’t give you the burning sensation .. that others give.  It’s really heaven sent, at $6.49 .. affordable.. and definitely something i have all the time.. in my purse.
