Sudocrem is a skin healing cream specifically designed for nappy rash.
However the company also state on their website that it can be used on cuts and grazes, minor burns, sunburn, eczema, dermatitis, acne and bed sores.
Some people have used it for cold sores with different levels of success rates. Some people claim it has no effect while others claim it does the job quickly, so it depends on your body.
Give it a try if you like. However, if you have used the sudocrem on the bottom of a baby with a rash for example, it might be a good idea to avoid using it on a cold sore, since the bacteria will just be transferred from the pot to your mouth.
Zovirax and Blistex are designed specifically for cold sores and are available over the counter at a pharmacy or drug store.
