Fast and effective treatment for cold sores (HSV-1)
Cold sores are small, fluid-filled blisters that typically form on or around the lips. They are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) — a highly contagious but common infection that remains dormant in the body and can reactivate during times of stress, illness, or sun exposure.
Although cold sores usually clear within 7–10 days, they can be uncomfortable, painful, and cause self-consciousness. Starting treatment early can shorten healing time, reduce discomfort, and prevent the infection from spreading.
At ifeelshy®, we offer clinically proven antiviral medications such as Aciclovir and Valaciclovir, which help to stop the virus from multiplying and speed up recovery. All treatments are MHRA-approved and supplied through our discreet, licensed UK online pharmacy.
