Something happen in one part of my face. Below my lips, there was a small and tiny outbreak that really bothers me. I kept on touching it out of consciousness. Until one day I noticed it was already reddened with itching, tingling and burning sensation feeling. I was so bothered and I am even ashamed to go out with that yucky thing on my face. I don’t know what to do and what to think. Where did it come from? Why I got it? What is the reason I got it the fact that most of the time I am only staying at home? What is it? I’m getting paranoid.
According to my hubby maybe that was a cold sore. I don’t have idea what is cold sores and I really hate and felt so bad about it. Does my skin reacting with the new climate of the new country we’re in? Am I allergic to cold or whatever sudden changes of weather here? I am not used to have skin problems while I’m still the Philippines.
My hubby bought a cream and told me to try it. I was freaking out when I read the label of it. It’s an Eczema & Psoriasis Cream called Nourish. It is said to be for symptomatic relief of mild to moderate Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis. A gentle formula suitable to use on the face and body. Temporary relief from itchy, dry and sensitive skin. I was convinced to use it knowing that it contain Aloe Vera juice dry powder. I know that aloe Vera is effective in different types of skin problems.
After 4 days of using the cream the cold sores was healed. According to our friend who visited us last Easter Sunday, it was really a cold sores and it will gone in due time even if you will not make an action to get rid of it. But I am really conscious and ashamed so I want to get rid of it that quick! Thanks God I’m okay now. Feeling better and face back to normal. No more hiding and covering.
I am now working with my research about cold sores and I will post it soon to help and give my readers some idea.
