Lip injections & cold sores?

April 3, 2017
Asked By:cschultz85 in Detroit, MI

Can you get lip injections if you get cold sores? I get maybe 1 or 2 a year and they are very minor as long as I use abreva from the first sign. What would I need to do before and after injections to minimize the possibility of cold sores?
