EWWW COOTIES.
No in all seriousness there are these certain little creams you can put on them to speed up the process. |

Yeah go to the drugstore. There's bunches of them. I think there's one called Abreva or something? I remember seeing that commercial on tv.

They appear inside the mouth? Or are you referring to canker sores? I've never had that, but my friends put on Abreva. |

Ohhh yeah, I used to get cold sores and canker sores mixed up all the time. Canker sores are on the inside while cold or on the out. Beats why they're named that way.  Abreeeeva! The most little tiny tube you'll ever find the price, but it works wonders. |

abreva works pretty well although it's expensive for a little bit
hehe but yeah.. if you don't get that you can put chapstick on it.. a lot ! well that's what the nurse told me one day.. but she recommended abreva |

I suggest you use abreva or carmex. Carmex usually helps mine when I don't have abreva, even though I haven't had a cold sore in almost 2 years.

Never tried it, but heard it really works. Put Pepto-Bismol on it -- Just a dab -- as soon as you feel one coming. But if it is reoccuring then ask your doctor for a perscription of Famvir, Valtrex, Zovirax.
