Thanks JasmanUk, this might just be the mucous-membrane-friendly bandage users have been looking to try in the past. It actually has little to do with the cold sores except keeping the skin moisturized, and keeping it clean. If it slows the keratinization and prevents secondary infection, it might be worth a try. But we all need one big-ass bandage. In the US, Johnson and Johnson have the rights to sell it, not sure if the packaging is the same. I'll check it out.
