XERESE cream is a topical medication used to treat cold sores, also known as herpes labialis, on the lips and around the mouth. It contains a combination of acyclovir, an antiviral agent, and hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, which work together to reduce the severity of the outbreak, alleviate symptoms, and promote faster healing. It is most effective when applied at the first sign of a cold sore outbreak.
