I once picked up a small booklet of Amish cures. The treatment for a cold sore stood out to me, but took me many years before I was desperate enough to try it. When I finally was desperate enough to try it, I regretted not trying it sooner.

So here it is - - You know you get how you get an annoying itch over your lip before you get the cold sore. Well when this happens, take a little ear wax from your ear and apply it to the irritated area and the cold sore never comes. Do you already have a cold sore? Go ahead and apply the ear wax to the cold sore and it will stop itching. Continue applying the ear wax a couple times a day and you will see it start healing and disappear.

I know it sounds kind of gross, but it is worth it to try this treatment.
