No shortcut here: Once a cold sore has started and damage is done to the tissues, healing will take its course. The trick is to stop the virus before the damage is done or to stop it from injuring more tissue. There are several products that can help do this but with any of them the best chance of success comes with treatment at the first sign of the virus. I have had good success with viroxyn. See your dentist.

Lasers: Laser therapy is extremely efficient at healing cold sores fast. Application of coconut oil or aloe is also beneficial.
