I have reactions to mosquito bites that include swelling and itching for a prolonged period, several hours or over night. This product did not do anything for the itching, stinging or swelling.

I had a sore between my toes, I tried everything from hydrogen peroxide to neosporin. I applied campho-phenique with a q-tip swab and in just a few hours it was much improved.Within 24 hours, the redness is gone and the pain is gone.

This is my 2nd cold sore I have gotten in 20 days! Once i noticed the cold sore start to turn into a blister I started putting orajel($8) on it. That acutally stopped the pain. The next day it got a little bigger and i went back to the store and got Releev ($17) and Campho-Phenique ($5). At first I put on a little campho-phenique but stop because it is like an ointment that stinks and made the sore more obvious because it was shiny. The Releev kept the sore the same size and kept it from getting bigger, but when I went to sleep I applied a lot of Campho- Phenique and when I woke up the sore was already drying up. I was too excited. I keep putting it on and now its barely visible. Keep in mind the cold sore popped up on Fri and today (Sun) you can hardly tell. I am just mad that I spent money on Releev when the $5 Campho-Phenique did a much better job! Read More Read Less
