FAQs

How often should I change the Compeed Cold Sore Patch?

The patch is designed to stay on for up to 12 hours. Change the patch when it starts to peel off, or after a maximum of 12 hours, whichever comes first, to ensure continuous optimal healing.

Can I eat and drink normally while wearing the patch?

Yes, you can eat and drink normally. The patch is designed to be durable and stay in place during daily activities, including eating and drinking. However, avoid excessive rubbing or aggressive wiping of the area.

Is this patch suitable for children?

This product is specifically indicated for adult use. For cold sores in children, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.

How does the patch help to heal cold sores faster?

The patch utilizes a principle called moist wound healing. It creates an optimal environment over the cold sore, which helps to prevent scab formation, reduce discomfort, and promote faster healing compared to leaving the cold sore exposed to air.

Can I use the patch on other types of sores or wounds?

No, the Compeed Cold Sore Patch is specifically designed for cold sores on the lips and surrounding facial area. It should not be used on other types of wounds, skin conditions, or infections. Consult a healthcare professional for other skin concerns.

Will the patch prevent my cold sore from appearing?

The patch is designed to treat cold sores once they appear or when you feel the first tingling sensation. While applying it early can help manage the outbreak and potentially shorten its duration, it does not prevent a cold sore from appearing if the virus is already active.

Troubleshooting

Patch is not sticking well or peels off too soon.

Ensure the skin is completely clean and dry before application. Avoid applying any creams, ointments, or moisturizers to the area as these can interfere with adhesion. Press the patch firmly for a few seconds upon application, especially around the edges.

Cold sore still visible or patch looks obvious.

The patch is designed to be discreet, but its visibility can depend on skin tone and placement. Ensure the patch is smoothed down completely. You can apply makeup or lipstick over the patch to further conceal it.

Irritation or redness around the patch area.

If you experience irritation, remove the patch immediately. Clean the area with mild soap and water. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure you are not allergic to any components of the patch.

Patch is difficult to remove.

To remove, gently stretch the patch along the skin rather than peeling it straight up. If it's still difficult, you can moisten the edge with a little warm water to loosen the adhesive.
