So it turns out Carmex has more than one product

[MissMillie]

I was having a terrible time trying to heal a crack in my lip. I had purchased several different products including Carmex in a squeezable tube. Nothing worked.

Then when I was in the store one day there was a display that had several bins of different kinds of Carmex. I checked the one in my pocket and noticed that it said "protect." There in the bin, there was a tiny tub that said "healing."

Did the trick. The cut was healed w/I a couple of days.

4. I haven't had cold sores, but people I know say lysine really helps

Here's info from the People's Pharmacy, a website I really like done by the Graedons - a pharmacist and his medical anthroplogist wife.

5. Is that the kind like the chapstick?

I get that in a cherry flavor. My lips fall apart without it. I love it.
