Can I take L-Lysine tabs for a cold sore right after a PRP microneedling procedure?

March 30, 2018
Asked By:georgedb51 in Dallas, TX

I just had a PRP microneedling procedure today and when I got home I noticed that I am starting to get a cold sore. I’ve taken L-Lysine tabs in the past and applied Abreva to get rid of cold sores but not sure if taking the tablets will affect PRP results.
