I got tired of the BS. So I built the plan I couldn’t find.
I’m Dom, the creator of Cold Sore Confessions.
I used to get cold sores almost every other month. I hated it. I tried the creams, the pills, and every “just do this” tip on the internet, and I was sick of the conflicting information about what you can and can’t do.
What I eventually figured out is that there’s no single magic product. The real answer is understanding you: what triggers your outbreaks, what your body needs, and having a plan ready before one ever starts.
So I built that plan, and I’ve followed it ever since.
The first step is the same one I took: figuring out the triggers.
Knowing my triggers and following my protocol simplified my life. I’m not scared of the tingle anymore, because I’m not guessing. I have a plan, and if one does show up, I know exactly what to do in the first 48 hours.
What I believe
Cold sores aren’t random.
Outbreaks tend to follow a pattern, and once you know yours, you can plan around it.
No single product is the answer.
Treatments have their place, and your doctor or pharmacist is the person for those. What I was missing was understanding my triggers and having a protocol.
You deserve straight answers.
No hype and no fear-selling, just what I do, laid out so you don’t have to spend years figuring it out.
Is it perfect? No. Is it the most complete approach I’ve found? Yes. I’ve done a ridiculous amount of research, and I built this so you can learn from my experience and skip the years of trial and error.
