I had an outbreak for a cold sore on my mouth about a week ago, and since then ive been applying abreva and another lip medication to stop the
cold sore. this was one of my worst
cold sores ever, but it eventually started to go away, just leaving scabs that are slowly healing (because the blisters got big, i accidently kept ripping them in my sleep). From my understanding, is it true that once the cold sore begins to heal, that the virus has left your body?
