Viraban Cold Sore Cream, 13-1-2021 By: Irene Edgar (Christchurch) I always keep this in my medicine cabinet so that at the first sign of a cold sore appearing (usually an itchy tickling sensation) I can apply the cream and it stops the cold sore from getting too big or sore.   SERVICE AND PRICES, 19-1-2019 By: Margaret Williams (Darfield) I'm very happy with both of the above and will certainly use this website regularly.
