It's supposed to help clean it out to keep it from getting really infected.. But for me, it stings way too much to do that, so I put some peroxide on it.. The sore will go away on it's own eventually, but for now, just put peroxide and salt on it.. also, I've noticed that after I do those two, my sore is less painful.. Hope this helped!Health Question & Answer
