Cold sores are a type of herpes virus. The only topical treatments I know are blistex and campho phenique (sp?). The real treatment is to avoid exposure and this means, at the very least, washing your mouthpiece, each time you use, it in warm soapy water. If your significant other has a cold sore, you are celibate until it disappears (at least at the "lip level"). Anything stronger than the topical treatments is best gotten from an MD or the student health center.
