Just trying to search (using DuckDuckGo, because I already know Google's fuckin useless) whether its advisable to put a small bandaid on a coldsore, particularly with medication on it, particularly overnight or out and about.
EVERYTHING IS JUST ABOUT PRODUCTS.
No simple resources for information. No simple facts. "What's the best hydrocollood bandage for coldsores?" "Coldsore bandage walgreens." "coldsore bandage near me." Best MAKEUP for hiding coldsores.
Wtf y'all? I hate the future.

There's no reasonable escape. No mainstream search engine uses regex anymore. You can't even -minus out or "quote in" terms with reasonable accuracy. Half of the results are AI trash to sell you products, maybe a lucky 1-in-10 is simply there to inform you. More like 1-in-50 most times. It was once noted as a landmark that Google users rarely navigated to page 2 of search results, because they found what they wanted on page 1.
Now I'm regularly diving 3, 4, 5, sometimes more pages deep.

I'm doing it, btw. I'm gonna put a bandaid on a coldsore I just medicated.
As far as my mostly informed layperson's knowledge can say, there are probably some benefits to covering a cold sore at least for certain times and activities & few significant risks. For me, I don't want to fuck up my sore with my pillow, blankets etc while I sleep & risk spreading the outbreak, causing more pain, or slowing healing. 🤷
I'm mildly allergic to some bandage adhesives & maybe that'll make it worse, idk.

I hate that huge, expensive, energy intensive swaths of fanatically advanced technology is working away, heating the planet, sucking up money & resources, not primarily to power cutting-edge medicine, augment educational environments, or make the world more accessible & equitable.
A lot of it is now just expensive garbage, more dead technology like fucking landlines and broadcast television that were #enshittified to death by greedy companies, advertisers, & scammers.
