Hi, I have some cold sores on my chin and they are in the healing stage. For the last 3 days they have been all having this yellow crust on them so I guess a scab is being formed. However, since they are on my chin, it’s really hard to avoid water running on when I brush teeth or wash my face or take a bath, which makes the crust getting soft and ending up falling out very often. Also, I’m still putting on ointment but it also makes the crust softer.
I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s better to keep the sores moist when they’re healing, but for mine since they are just starting to form the scab should I keep them completely dry?
Thank you in advance!
