How does the patch work throughout the cold sore stages?
CompeedĀ® Cold Sore Patch creates the ideal environment to soothe, protect and heal the wound caused by the cold sore. Because the patch is breathable, but still is able to absorb fluid from the cold sore, this prevents the cold sore from drying out and forming a painful scab. The patch also covers the cold sore making it less visible, and it prevents dirt and germs from contaminating it. Click here to see a full stage-by-stage explanation.
