I have a cut on the right side of my mouth. It looks like a scab but I am not sure what cold sores look like. Is there a cheap and easy way can I can treat this? Also is there any makeup to cover this up?

Cold Sore Treatment

Cold sores appear around the lip area when there is a lot of heat in the body, according to Eastern medicine practices. To alleviate a cold sore, using natural beeswax on the cold sore for a week will help the cold sore disappear.

The beeswax helps draw the heat from the sore which also alleviates the red color. Usually, you will see the bright red color disappear within a day of using the beeswax. It can be applied numerous times throughout the day and before bedtime. Beeswax can be found at any natural food store.

Cover ups which work well are Clinique and Burts Bees Wax.
