This will help it go away, but I must warn you it will not make it feel better right away . . . it will sting a tad at first . . .

Take the tip of your finger, and dip it in water (or hydrogen peroxide!) and then dip it in table salt, then press this against your owie . . . it will sting, and you will drool . . . (No pics please!) leave this on as long as you can stand it . . . then rinse, take a breath . . . repeat in 1 hr!

I have also found the L-Lysine (a vitamin/mineral supliment) helps, but works best as a preventative . . . take one pill a week (500 mg)
