Why does my cold sore keep coming back within 24 hours, so annoying?

I feel like I just get over a fever blister on my lip and another one shows up in the same spot the next day. My lips have been really chapped lately and I have been outdoors a lot without spf. Has anyone else dealt with these quick repeat cold sores, and what has helped you feel more comfortable while they heal?

For me chapped lips were a big trigger, so I keep a lip balm with spf on all day now and it seems to help me get fewer flare ups.

I try to be gentle with the area and not pick at it, and I have found that staying hydrated and rested makes my healing feel smoother.

A lot of members here mention lysine rich foods and using abreva early as part of their comfort routine, but I would check with a pharmacist about what fits you.

This is exactly the kind of thing the community is for. Small consistent habits beat any single fix, in my experience.

I keep a balm in every pocket now, it really does help.

Have something to add?
