Allimax liquid or cream, applied twice daily over the nail and cuticle surface along with two Allimax capsules taken daily can normally resolve this within 12 weeks. Quick use of Allimax liquid or cream as soon as the lips begin to tingle will quickly prevent the cold sore from worsening and will soon resolve the problem. Once the liquid has started the healing process and some new thin skin has appeared it is then more effective to continue using Allimax cream topically on the wound and stop using the liquid. The liquid may be applied as and when required.
