So I have a cold sore at the moment. I sent DH to the chemist to get some cream. He came back with "Virasolve - cold sore cream". I quickly put some on, then again 2-3 more times during the evening/overnight.

It wasn't until this morning while washing my hands in the bathroom I glanced down and saw the back of the tube "DO NOT USE DURING PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING".

I'm 19 weeks pregnant. I didn't even think to check if it was safe, just assumed it would be.
