Yesterday I borrowed some lip gloss from a friend who had a cold sore. Admittedly, I wasn't thinking. I didn't realize I could get cold sores from her until much later in the day. Well, anyway, me question is: Is there anything I can do to prevent catching cold sores? I know I already exposed myself to the virus, but is there anything I can do? I really really do not want cold sores. Thanks.

I would put it on anyway just in case you have a cold sore and it hasn't like beefed up yet[sorry thats kinda gross but ya get my point right?].
TIP: Don't use fancy chapstick on cold sores use medical chapstick! Hope this helps!
