I'm in desperate need of a good cold sore ointment like Zovirax. Went to a pharmacy with a Korean friend to see if I could get something similar and I ended up getting "wound ointment", which I don't think is going to be any use next time a cold sore springs up. I can get them pretty bad if I don't find a good cream. Does anyone know of a good product I can get?

Did you catch herpes from the girl in the photo?

You need acyclovir. Ask for it by name in Hangul. And don't share drinks with me.

That girl is a guy?

No wonder she's got herpes.

even if you dont find any cold sore cream, you could use an eye patch... they seem to have LOTS of those!

Hey....that is me in the picture!! And no...I'm not a Guy, but my surname is!!

Thanks for the advice! Not sure if it makes any difference, but I get my cold sores on my nose and not my mouth so not sure if that makes any difference to the product I need to get. The products back home are for both, but here they seem to have separate products.

Are you sure you didnt get confused? Maybe lately you've been getting A COLD NOSE instead of cold sores on your nose? Seriously though, stop letting strange guys you dont know lick your nose, OK?
