    Tea tree oil has antiviral properties. It's one of the few oils you can apply neat to the skin. Dab it on with your (clean) finger or a bit of cotton wool, and you can alternate it with lavender to soothe it as well if you so desire.

    Toothpaste is good at drying the sore out and making it go quicker.

    It depends if you're a baldyheed or not.

    You can get a cold sore anywhere. A mate's son has one in his eye !

    Toothpaste is a fantastic idea then!

    It'd just be a bit manky in flowing locks.

    Are you sure it's not impetigo?

    That starts off a bit like a cold sore but you need antibiotics to get rid of it

    Well it seems to be going down on it's own so that's good, but thanks for the tips guys :) Next time i get one on me bum i'll do the toothpaste thing. Maybe i'll get a ring of confidence *ping* :D
