For best results, it’s a good idea to learn what triggers your cold sore and how to recognize the signs–a tingle, redness, bump, or itch–so you can start to fight it as soon as you feel it. Use Abreva® Cream at the first sign of a cold sore and continue to use it five times a day for up to 10 days. You could knock out your cold sore in 2½ days when you use Abreva® Cream at the first sign of a cold sore.*

Once the scab has formed, your cold sore is almost completely healed. Keep applying Abreva® Cream for 10 days or until the scab has fallen off, whichever comes first. Do not peel the scab as you could damage the new, delicate skin underneath. Instead, let the scab fall off naturally.
