Many common cold sore treatments are well-tolerated by most people. However, they are not for everyone. The benefits and risks must be discussed with a healthcare practitioner.

Side effects sometimes associated with common treatments may including dry lips, dryness of skin, cracked lips, burning skin, shedding skin, itching, flakiness, and stinging on the skin.

If you experience side effects, we always suggest you discuss them with your prescribing practitioner or pharmacist.
