Hi, I'm applying the lobate gm on my lip where a cold sore happened. Does it have any negative effects on my lip if I apply it on my lip.

You should not apply steroid crm on cold sores. Rather you can apply moisturizing lip balm and acyclovir crm on cold sores along with oral antiviral tablets and multivitamin caps.
