What This Cold Sore Cream Treats

Cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus (usually HSV‑1). They often begin with a tingling or burning sensation, then form blisters and crust over. Aciclovir cream helps reduce viral replication at the sore, which can shorten the episode and reduce symptom severity when started early.

How Aciclovir 5% Works

Aciclovir is an antiviral medicine. When applied to the cold sore area, it interferes with the virus’s ability to multiply. That means fewer new virus particles are made, giving your body a better chance to heal the sore.

How to Use Numark Cold Sore Cream (Dose & Timing)

Apply a thin layer to the cold sore and the surrounding skin 5 times a day at intervals of about 4 hours. Try to space applications evenly during your day (night‑time doses are usually omitted).

Step-by-step application

1. Wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
2. Gently dab a thin layer onto the cold sore and the skin immediately next to it (avoid rubbing).

4. Do not share your tube with other people.
