Numark Cold Sore Patches

About Numark Cold Sore Patches

Numark Cold Sore Patches are discreet, ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches designed to treat cold sores from the very first tingle. Utilizing advanced moisture-healing technology, these patches create a protective “second skin” barrier over the affected area. This helps to reduce pain, minimize the appearance of the sore, and significantly lower the risk of spreading the Herpes simplex virus to others or different parts of the body.

Numark Cold Sore Patches are suitable for adults and children and come in a convenient pack size:

• Numark Cold Sore Patches – 15 Patches

What Are Numark Cold Sore Patches Used For?

Numark Cold Sore Patches are used to manage and treat herpes labialis (cold sores) throughout all stages of an outbreak. They work by absorbing the fluid from the blister and maintaining a moist environment that prevents painful scabbing and crusting. The physical barrier also helps hide the sore, making it less visible under makeup or on its own.

Who Are Numark Cold Sore Patches Suitable For?

These patches are suitable for most individuals experiencing a cold sore outbreak.

Do not use Numark Cold Sore Patches if you:

• Are allergic to any of the adhesive components or hydrocolloid material
• Have a severe, persistent cold sore that does not improve after 10 days

Speak to a healthcare professional before use if you:

• Have a weakened immune system
• Are unsure if the sore is a cold sore or another skin condition
• Experience sores near the eyes

How to Use Numark Cold Sore Patches

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application to prevent spreading the virus.
2. Ensure the skin is clean and completely dry. Do not apply cream or lip balm before the patch, as it will not stick.
3. Remove the patch from its wrapper and apply the adhesive side directly over the cold sore.
4. Smooth the edges down firmly to ensure a complete seal.
5. Leave the patch on until it begins to peel away naturally. Replace immediately with a fresh one.

Possible Side Effects

While rare, some users may experience:

• Local skin irritation or redness
• An allergic reaction to the adhesive

If you experience a rash or swelling, remove the patch and consult a pharmacist.
