Hey AJ.. try some Zovirax. I don't get cold sores but my mother does and swears by it. That said, the best thing to do is leave them to heal and not pick them. If you know what your assignments are about or can ask your tutors for a bit more information, why not be a super swot and do a little self-motivated study and do your assignments early? That way all you have to stress about is your exam and looking pretty for your sister at the wedding (which I'm sure you'd do easily anyway). 20 days is quite a long time, it will all be fine. :)

Thanks Lumiere, only I think it was Zovirax my sister used, however she just has allergic reactions to the most random things, so maybe it only messed her up. I'm not allergic to anything... that I know of.

It's a really tiny thingy wotsit in the corner of my mouth, it just hurts when I yawn, eat and laugh :|

With regards to my 2 assignments, those are my 2 new courses that start today.

Maybe it's my wedding that's causing you stress? Heh. My other sis used to use things for her cold sore, as AJ already pointed out, but I leave mine alone when I get them. They go pretty fast.. within a few days.

*bumps* That cold sore didn't develop properly btw, it somehow just went away :D

Anyway, I'm not dermatologist so I have no knowledge whatsoever on skin stuff tbh but I have eczema/ezchma or however the heck you spell it. At least I *think* it is ezchma. I basically have rough patches of skin randomly on my body like arm, leg, back, neck etc. Some patches are big and others are small. Only a few patches itch(ed) and the others I just discovered by touch cos it feels so gross.

I honestly cba to go to the doctors cos I think this is just like a winter rash/ezchma type thing so it might just go away once the weather is warmer for more than just a day after a few weeks.

In the past I used E45 for rough skin on my hands but I think that stopped working after a while. I'm not too familiar with OTC stuff so if anyone out there suffers from ezchma or winter rash like things, some remedies would be very appreciated. I'd like to get rid of this ickyness now cos quite frankly, it's just a pain in the butt.

I've even used really good body scrubs and that does squat all tbh :/
Ayudame, por favor. Gracias in advance-o

I know a Mexican hangover remedy that involves cow stomach(tripe), pigs feet and hominy in a spicy broth. They call it Menudo(meh-noo-doh). Its served hot with lemon slices, diced onion and crushed oregano and tortillas of course. Want the recipe?

PS: No! Im not talking about the 80's teenybopper music group: Menudo Ugh!

Ok, so call me strange, but I actually like Menudo. Its a very tasty dish.
