Is there a natural remedy for this problem? The jury is out, but anecdotal evidence is suggesting that cheap, easily available products may in fact have a better remedial effect than either of these two chemical treatments. What are these products? Nizoral Shampoo, used twice a week, and T-Sal Shampoo, also used twice a week.

Combined with daily shampooing with an ordinary shampoo 3 days a week, these anti-inflamarory and anti-dandruff shampoos are cheap, available in every pharmacy, and have no know side effects. You do have to wash your hair and scalp every day, though, so a good conditioner is also desirable. Do they remedy problem of hairloss? It looks like it!

Obviously, while you treat cold sore, use lip protection from wind and sun - Chapstick is good (unflavored). Other possible treatments include echinacea, red clover, and pau d'arco, although it is beyond scope of this short article to expand on these. And remember - no kissing while sore is present!
