âI love that Iâve had the opportunity to open thousands of peopleâs eyes to the ripple effect that one person can have on another. One of the absolute best things an activist can do is train new activists, and working with Grassroots has allowed me to do that on a daily basis.
Cold sores are caused by a Herpes Virus (HSV-I not the genital variety HSV-II). Abreva is a topical medication that can help fight and speed healing of cold sores. Abreva is over the counter in the USA. Neosporin will not keep the virus from spreading but could help it from becoming secondarily infected with bacteria. Neosporin contains 3 antibiotics: Neomycin, Bacitracin and Polymyxin.
More recently, the brand launched the Polysporin Cold Sore Healing patch. It is the first brand to provide healing patches that are intended to hide and actively heal cold sores. Each healing patch uses hydrocolloid technology to form a protective barrier, speed healing, and prevent scabbing.ll of the ointment variants are also composed of Polysporin's proprietary Cel-Activ moisturization technology, a unique formulation of olive oil, vitamin E, cocoa butter, cotton seed oil, sodium pyruvate, and petrolatum. Cel-Activ is intended to minimize the appearance of scarring.
