Biologics and cold sores

The nurse is coming this morning to get me started on Benepali - and I’ve got a cold sore developing nicely on my top lip (forgot to use my sunscreen on Saturday. Drat!).
Knowing what I know about the herpes virus, I think starting a biologic today is probably not a good idea.
Any thoughts from more experienced biologic users?

I've never done either benepoli or cold sores but I think your chances of getting a few relevant replies before you can forestall the nurse's visit are unlikely. I'd suggest you ring, if you have a number, to get advice.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

The nurse has just been
She wasn't happy about me starting Benepali with an active cold sore so I've to defer until this one's burnt itself out.
We covered everything else. It was a really good appointment.0 -
I think I'm right in saying that cold words are caused by the herpes virus so I am not surprised that the benepali is no-go for the time being. I've never had one (well, not yet) and hope I never do because I am one of life's pickers, I love a good scab. Nasty habit, bad girl.
I hope it clears up soon, will sunshine aggravate or help? DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -

Cold sores, now they're another matter.0 -
Thank you Daffy, I keep forgetting I have to check every word I type so the blasted machine outdoor the (for outdoor read puts) the right one. :roll: I do not like this machine. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Evidently a non-arthritic machine DD - hasn't a clue but thinks it knows better anyway.0
