What causes cold sores?

The cause of cold sores (HSV-1) is direct contact with a carrier. This can happen via kissing or sharing items like lip balm or drink bottles that have come into contact with the virus. 

HSV-1 is highly contagious, especially during active cold sore outbreaks. Being mindful and maintaining good hygiene can help reduce the risk of cold sore transmission. 

How long do cold sores last?

Cold sores typically last around 7 to 10 days, but the duration can vary from person to person. If you’re wondering how to get rid of cold sores fast, applying a cold compress or ice pack to the affected area may prevent further irritation, and cold sore creams may relieve symptoms and promote healing. 

Antiviral cold sore medications may be needed if outbreaks are frequent or severe.

Your treatment options

Outbreak Therapy

Taken at first signs of an outbreak to provide quick relief and decrease severity of symptoms.

Suppressive Therapy

Taken daily to proactively minimise the risk of a cold sore outbreak and passing the virus onto a partner.

FAQs about Cold Sore Treatment

Our clinicians provide the highest standard of healthcare, which means that each patient is assessed on an individual basis. If the clinician determines that it is not safe for you to be prescribed a treatment for cold sores or that your symptoms appear different to a standard cold sore, they may recommend that you visit a GP in person to be further assessed.

There are usually several stages to a cold sore. Firstly, tingling and itching around the lips for a day or so before a small hard spot appears and blisters erupt. The second stage is small-fluid filled blisters which typically erupt along the border of your lips. Finally these small blisters may merge and then burst, leaving shallow open sores that ooze and crust over.1

A clinician will review your assessment and respond within 24 hours. In most cases it will be much sooner than this.

Once your treatment has been paid for, we will ship with express delivery to anywhere in Australia, meaning your package should arrive within 1-3 days. Your product is shipped in an Australia Post package, which means it will be completely discreet.
