Frequently asked questions
There are usually several stages of a cold sore. The first stage involves tingling and itching around the lips for a day or so before a hard spot appears, and blisters erupt. The second stage involves the formation of small fluid-filled blisters along the lining of the lips. Finally, these small blisters may merge and burst, leaving shallow open sores that ooze and eventually crust over. [1]

hub.health clinicians provide the highest standard of healthcare, assessing each patient on an individual basis. If our medical team determines a potential risk related to a specific cold sore treatment, or your cold sore symptoms appear different to standard cold sores, treatment will not be issued. Your doctor may provide recommendations for next steps, including in-person GP visits for further assessment.
In most cases a clinician will review your assessment and respond within 24 hours.
Once your treatment has been paid for, it will be dispatched within 1-3 days and sent via express delivery. Your product is shipped in an Australia Post package, which means it will be completely discreet.
