FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When is the best time to apply the patch — at the tingling stage or later?

The patch can be applied at any stage of a cold sore, from the first tingling through to the blister and healing phases. Applying it early may help reduce scab formation and shorten the overall visible episode.

Can I apply make-up or lipstick over the patch?

Yes. The patch is designed to be discreet and can be worn under make-up or lipstick, which is one of its main advantages over traditional cold sore creams.

Is it an antiviral treatment?

No. It uses hydrocolloid technology to create a protective, moist healing environment over the cold sore, which helps reduce scabbing and supports natural healing. It does not contain an antiviral active ingredient. If you want an antiviral treatment, ask our pharmacy team at info@rightangled.com.

How often should I change the patch?

Replace the patch when it starts to lift or detach, or at least once every 12 hours. Do not peel it off and reapply the same patch. Clean the area gently before applying a fresh one.
