Right after the IPL I noticed my lower lips had a red spot. It was my cold sore dried out and red from the dry blood. Now, it's about 2:45 pm and my cold sore and tingleness is totally gone. My 2nd day of cold sore out break and it usually last for 7or 10 days.WOW! Did I just discovered the fastest way to get rid off cold sore?
