Cold sores that keep multiplying even with use of cold sore cream & taking vit b supplements. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Where are the "cold: sores?" They may not be cold sores. They could be a bacterial infection (if outside of the mouth) or canker sores (if they're inside the mouth). Please see your doctor to have this properly diagnosed and treated.
