If you are developing blisters from the sun you should have your doctor check for Lupus. I developed Lupus and my Rheumatologist thought it was from Humira but over a year off of Humira my markers are still going up and down. I have a feeling that it goes hand in hand with PSA. I also have Sjögren’s syndrome.

Thanks Arlene that’s a shame for you, cold sores aren’t nice to have.

I take lysine at the first tingle I usually get them on my lower lip. The lysine really helps me. I’ve had cold sores for it seem most of my 72 years.

Hi I developed my first cold sore at the age of 59. Tried several different ways that people suggested. None worked. Eventually , for one reason or another I decided on taking a daily ZINC TABLET. After starting this, no more COLD SORES. However, any females looking at this and thinking about falling PREGNANT should look further into taking ZINC. I now have cut my zinc intake back to every second day and it works fine. If you do start on ZINC and find that you do occasionally think you are about to get a cold sore , double up for a couple of days.I trust that this may be of assistance to anyone who not only suffers from psoriasis but also cold sores. As far as travelling,. this time of year is a no,no for me as I reside in the SUNNIEST CAPITAL CITY IN THE WORLD. I prefer to chase the sun in the winter.

I use lysine for cold sores which I’ve had most of my life… yes a beach vacation led me to cold sore entire bottom lip. This was before I knew about lysine
