    Since both medications are probably expensive, are a hassle to get and have limited results ( they must be put on immediately after one gets a tingle to be effective,that is for the sore to disappear within four days ) , why not cover up the affected spot with a speck of that flesh colored war paint your sister/girlfriend/mother uses ? A small application will quickly cover up the redness, enough to trick anybody, even in the light. In the evening when you are at home, put some Vaseline on it, incidentally, eating a lot of soy products should help to prevent this.
