I went to bed with an itchy cheek and woke up with what looks like a cold sore on my face. What can I put on it?

If you suspect you have a facial herpes outbreak, it is important to consult a doctor as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Medical attention within the first 72 hours of symptoms appearing is crucial for effective treatment. It is also important to practice good hygiene to prevent spreading the virus to others, especially if the lesion is near the eye. Consider using online healthcare services to schedule a prompt appointment with a doctor.
