I have been using Denavir for years. It is a prescription cream. It comes in a small tube. I have (knock on wood) not had a cold sore in years because I immediately put this on the spot that is tingling. I keep on in my purse at all times. Do not go anywhere without a tube.

I am so cold sore prone since childhood. When I was young, I went to the beach and in the water.I had a cold sore that spread across my chin It was awful.
