Yes, and it's a good idea to do so. Manuka honey is made from the Tea Tree, the oil of which is considered to be effective to promote healing, as well as an excellent disinfectant. Honey itself also has these properties, so

if you can't get Manuka honey, don't despair --regular honey will do.

I believe that is a better treatment for exema then cold sores. If the cold sore is around your mouth then you shouldn't apply the bee propolis to it. Cold sore creams like Abreva work much better and they are safer to apply on or aroun the lips.
