Hi,
Do you normally get coldsores?? If its a coldsore (lasting 6 weeks
though?!?) then treatment with acyclovir will get rid of it in a few days
(brand name is zovirax here and probably in UK too)... That's the only thing
that will treat a coldsore, so it's useful to have anyway if you ever get
coldsores. However, it sounds more like a fungal infection you've got....
often cause dry, raw patches on the skin and easily treated (and easy to get
one when you're in a dusty environment) so maybe get yourself to a doctor or
try one of the over-the-counter antifungal creams (your pharmacist should be
able to give some advice).

Subject: [Hornlist] Cold sores and the like
Hi all,
Got a bit of a problem at the moment, wondering if any of you guys can help?
I've had a patch of dry skin on my top lip a bit like a cold sore for the
last 6 weeks or so now, and it's not showing any signs of going.
It started when I was rushing about moving house in the very hot weather and
I was sweating a lot (eurgh!). Despite regular application of lipsyl and
blisteze it's not shifting at all. It varies between looking a bit red and
being very dry with flakes of dead skin. It can be very painful to play on,
and because of the dry skin I've lost some sensation in it.
Fortunately it's not in the centre of my lip, it's to one side, so I can
keep playing. It is very painful though, and affects my stamina.
Has anybody got any experience of this or offer any useful hints? Fairly
pointless going to a doctor as they'll just tell me to stop worrying!
Thanks in advance!
Martin.
