text: How do I stop my cold sore from peeling?   When a cold sore peels is it supposed to bleed?
target: I have recently been diagnosed with oral herpes and I have a cold sore now and it has started to peel. I am using abreva ointment, not sure if it can result in peeling. Do you know what might have triggered the peeling and is there anything that I can use to control peeling? I am really worried that it may start bleeding, does a cold sore bleed usually?
