should you pop a fever blister?


Am i fat?



Answers:
Popping blisters is never recommended, but ESPECIALLY with herpes viruses (be it oral or genital herpes). It could cause them to spread!

Try Denavir over the counter, or see your doctor about other anti-herpes medication options.

How do u get rid of a blister w/out buying stuff from a store just w/ stuff around the house.?

No because it won't make it heal any faster.Itwill in fact take longer.But,when you feel the tingling that comes before a fever blister,put a cotton ball with alcohol on it and hold it ther,this can prevent it from coming uo if youdo it as soon as you notice the tingling.If it has already started to come up it will make it dry faster.I know this may sound gross but earwax will help too.

Just leave it alone. Put lavendar oil on it, it will help dry it up.

Fever blisters are from herpes simplex I virus (it's actually an STD) Do NOT pop it! the virus will spread and you'll have it worse next time it flares up. You can get L-lysine (a pill) to help put it back in remission, and a menthol creme (Carmex is a good one) to dry out current lesions and ease the pain.

What can acidic drinks(soda Gatorade etc.) do to your stomach?

Tempting, but don't do pop it. This will sound crazy but I have a home remedy works every time. Crack a raw egg, peel the membrane back from the inside of the shell - make sure it is good and wet from the egg white (it looks like a see through paper) stick it on that sucker before you go to bed (or at home alone in your house) and it will be down to nothing by morning. It draws out all that goock and with no pain--what we would call a poultice in the old days. This is not worth doing after the blister is already down or scabby.

Note: You will feel it pulling, don't be alarmed. Also, don't just pull it off, wet it with water over the sink gently until it just falls off to get it off.

Then in the daytime moisturize and put abreva on it, or get a Rx from your doc to speed healing. The healing time will go way down and so will the pain and ugly.
