hello everyone today's the super
exciting day because we're gonna talk
about cold sores it all started about
five years ago it was my freshman year
of college and I was partying it up it
was a week before my birthday and I got
A's on all my tests I was going on my
friends almost every night watching Game
of Thrones eating popcorn Jimmy John I
was living the dream I got these little
pimples I'm like oh so I did I put
makeup on them and I got the brush and
rubbed it all over my face like so I
wake up the next morning and I had a
fever my little zits had grown a lot
they got so big and they were like
starting to hurt and of course I didn't
know at this point that they were cold
sores yeah so then I go to the doctor
after like a few days and they're like
Gabby you have cold sores you need some
medicine for them but honest it's a
little late they're already out and
about so you just kind of have to wait
it out so I did I bought some Abreva I
put it on and they wouldn't go away they
had literally spread the whole way
around all around my lips I'm not even
kidding I couldn't even laugh so that's
how it all started ever since then I've
been getting cold sores like about
probably four times a year so I figured
I'd talk to you guys about some tips for
how to get rid of them faster and how to
make sure they don't spread because
that's like the biggest issue with cold
sores let's get started tip number one
if you can make sure you get a
prescription for it if you know you're
getting them regularly I wish I would
have done this so long ago but I didn't
they helped so much they make your cold
sores last like two days okay five days
versus like two weeks yet some pills if
you can go to your doctor and tell them
hey I'm getting little breakouts all the
time secondly make sure your closers
don't spread do not touch them if you
feel a little itchy don't touch it don't
don't mess around with it don't pick at
it don't put makeup on do not put makeup
on your cold sores they will get worse
they will spread all over your face you
don't want that change your pillowcase
you are sleeping on that thing if that
picks up your germs from your cold sore
back to your
yeah you will get it all over your face
so make sure you change your pillowcase
as soon as you get your first cold sore
you will have much better result much
better life change out your toothbrush
when you get your close to our change
our cheese brush when you're done with
your cold sore throw it away you cannot
keep the toothbrush after you've had a
cold sore because the bacteria is all
over the toothbrush the next thing is to
put coconut oil on your cold sores it
keeps my lips and my entire face from
getting dry make sure that you don't
like double dip into your little coconut
oil jar and also make sure that you
don't use the same finger to rub the
rest of your lips make sure you drink a
lot of water and don't eat chocolate
chocolate has some chemical in it that
makes your cultures like grow more so
honestly just stay away from the
chocolate the desserts the sugar just
stick to water and like healthy things
and your culture should go away within a
week let's talk about how to deal with
insecurity while you have your cold
sores so when I first got my cold story
sounds like I don't want to go anywhere
I'm so scared
everyone's gonna judge me and they did I
walked around and people would just be
like what is on your face my entire face
was stabbed up it was disgusting it is
so important to not let your
insecurities get in the way of what you
want to do I stayed at home for three
weeks straight I didn't even go to class
I was so ashamed of my freaking cold for
that isn't that okay you need to get out
there and live cold sores are normal
everyone gets some or at least like 50%
of the population does so you shouldn't
feel ashamed or embarrassed because it
is normal and it's okay do whatever you
need to do that you would normally do
and do not let two little things on your
face keep you from doing them no one is
gonna think less of you because you have
little cold sores on your face no one
really cares and they're worried about
their own insecurities they literally
don't care about your life or what
you're doing or anything so keep that in
mind literally no one cares about you
they only care about themselves and what
they look like and there's it's on
face so don't even worry about it it is
also super important to prevent cold
sores eat healthy drink water get enough
sleep don't go out in the Sun for too
long
alcohol is just not good for your cold
sores neither is eating ice cream or
chocolate try to live a stress-free life
because stress really really flares up
your cold sores
I wouldn't even risk getting stressed
out that is all I have for today
I just thought I would share this part
of my life because it's a very very real
situation there's nothing to be ashamed
of because life happens and cold sores
happen and that's okay that is all I
have for today
