You can take it but there is no guarantee that it will. Solve the problems.
Direct medicine without matching it to the symptoms help only in 20-30% cases.
Better take proper homoeopathic treatment.

Cold sores are typically caused by the herpes simplex virus and are characterized by small blisters that develop around the lips and mouth. However, some people do not showcase any symptoms at all.

lybrate-user! oral herpes can be transmitted by skin to skin contact including contact of body fluids and that includes kissing and physical intimacy. I'd recommend you to get tested for std to be absolute sure of the chances. There is no point in delaying it if you're sure that the person you kissed has oral herpes to be specific.

Better avoid chemical. Peeling.
It is very harmful.
And if you want to go for it then take it with proper homeopathic treatment.
