Pharmacist FAQs Answered

What is Compeed Cold Sore Patch, and how do they work?

Compeed Cold Sore Healing Patches are hydrocolloid patches that accelerate cold sore healing, invisibly, and effectively. The patches deposit Hydrocolloid technology—a high-tech healing gel that provides skin with the optimal conditions to heal.

By covering the cold sore, the patch protects the area, keeps it moist, and speeds up healing. It also stops scabbing and reduces visible signs like redness, swelling, and blistering.

How long does a Compeed Cold Sore Patch take to heal a cold sore?

Although healing time varies depending on the person and the severity of the outbreak, Compeed patches are scientifically proven to heal cold sores faster than creams alone. They have the ability to shorten the duration of cold sores by providing a protective moist environment that promotes natural healing of the skin.

For best effect, place the patch when the itching or tingling first starts and to change it as required until the sore has fully healed.

What are the benefits of taking Compeed versus a cold sore cream?

Unlike topical creams, which may rub off or be noticed on the skin, Compeed patches are an unobtrusive, mess-free option. Benefits include:

• Invisible look for less embarrassment
• All-day coverage against bacteria, makeup, and touching
• Pain relief, itching, and swelling relief
• Less scab and crust formation
• Less likelihood of passing the virus to others

Can I put on makeup or lipstick over the patch?

Yes. Another advantage of Compeed Cold Sore Patches is that you can cover it with makeup or lipstick once they are applied. You can put makeup or lipstick on the patch without affecting its efficacy.

This makes it the best option for covering a cold sore during the day while still continuing treatment.

How often will I have to replace the patch?

Replace the patch as soon as it starts peeling off your skin, normally after 8-12 hours. Don't try to peel it off early—wait for it to peel by itself or carefully peel it off once it has loosened.

Change to a new patch at once until the cold sore fully heals.

Can Compeed patches be worn during every stage of a cold sore?

Yes. Compeed patches can be used for all five stages of a cold sore episode—from early tingling and blistering to healing and scab prevention.

But they are most effective when used at the first sign of symptoms, such as tingling, redness, or swelling. Applying them early may stop the cold sore from forming completely.

Is Compeed Cold Sore Patch safe for children?

Compeed patches are usually recommended for use by adults and older adolescents. If you plan to use them on a child aged under 12, seek advice from a pharmacist or doctor first.

Children may have less thick skin or struggle to put the patch on correctly.

Can Compeed Cold Sore Patches prevent passing on the virus?

Yes. The patch creates a physical barrier that reduces the risk of touching the cold sore or transferring the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) to other individuals.

It also prevents limiting contamination from the lesion and, hence, it is a better option to use at public or workplace.

Do patches sting or irritate?

The patches are tolerated by most users and are non-irritating. They do not contain active drugs like acyclovir or antiseptics and are, therefore, extremely mild on the skin.

Remove the patch and consult your local healthcare professional if redness, itching, or stinging is observed.

What is contained in the Compeed Cold Sore Patch pack?

15 round patches (1.5 cm x 1.5 cm) are included in sealed hygienic packaging, along with a handy carry case with a mirrored lid for easy, on-the-spot use.
