Well i have a solution, but please know...
YOU NEED A HIGH PAIN THRESHOLD FOR THIS!
But your end result will be pleasing.
Well first off your going to need...
.A normal napkin/hand towel (Soft cotton would be best)
.Hydrogen peroxide (You can find this at any walgreens or convenience store)
.Rubbing alcohol (You can get this at the same places as the Hydrogen peroxide)
.Tweezers

.Q-tips (Otherwise known as Ear Cleaners)
1.Now that you have your materials, Go to the bathroom and hang your head over the sink to prevent leakage of saliva and other liquids. (Your going to have to do this because the pain will make your salvitory glands leek like bad plumbing)
2.Now take your tweezers and firmly pinch the base of the cold sore. (You must do this to lessen the pain AND expose more of the core)
3.Now here comes this first painful part. Take your Napkin and rub the sore and the surrounding area dry.
3.Now take your Hydrogen peroxide and take about a cap full and pour it onto the sore, it should bubble up, meaning it is eliminating infection and other bacterial thing\\’s.
4.Now pat it back dry with the napkin and take a cap full of rubbing alcohol and rub it around with the Q-tip. Repeat this step four more time to ensure that most of the exposed nerve endings are temporarily destroyed.
5.Pat dry with napkin
Now you have completely numbed the sore. The sore will heal at normal speed, but it wont bother you that much at all.

I have never tried this. I always just apply a straight dose of table salt every couple of hours and it will sting and then fade, and the pain goes away quickly. After a few applications, the cold sore shrivels up and disappears.
I sit and cry whenever I put hydrogen peroxide on a papercut . . you probably need a REALLY high pain threshold!
I think I'll just sit and whine about my cold sore until it goes away :3 But if I'm desperate, I'll look to this guide ;D
DONT DO THIS
rubbing alcohol consumption = go blind
It's easier and less painful to take a cue tip, cover it with some hydrogen peroxide, and swipe the cold sore and around. You might have to do it every few nights till it goes away. Good luck!
Your picture is mislabeled as a Cold Sore when it is actually a Canker Sore. Canker sores are inside the mouth. Cold sores are pimples outside the mouth.
My grandpa told me to just LIGHT A MATCH, BLOW IT OUT AND STICK IT RIGHT ON IT! It works I just did it.
The best cure, if you can get it, is clove oil. Just take a q-tip and put some clove oil on it, and not only does it numb the pain for a while, but the sore goes away within 2 days
try diluting with olive oil if you are more sensitive
they have clove oil at whole foods
hope this helps =)
