I tried many different remedies on here, taking l-lysine, vitamin c, making a lysine paste, ACV, tylenol paste, baths...
I take baths with epson salt, ACV, tea tree oil once a day for ~25 min. I use the Tylenol PM paste technique at night which really helps but during my last OB (which is getting less and less severe) 2 days in i decided to take a chance on the Abbreva, yes i know it's meant for cold sores but anything was worth a shot. I was amazed it completely cleared up in 32 hours after i first applied it, i used it 5 times in 3 hour intervals and then went to sleep and when i woke up i was amazed to see myself almost completely healed.
I am used to extremely bad outbreaks, lasting 10-13 days and spreading to multiple places, then only having about 2 weeks between them. Combining all these remedies cut my OB to a very tiny area and only lasted 3-4 days... i am truly amazed.
I plan on changing up my diet and upping my intake of vitamins and lysine, hopefully over time my OB will become much father apart and less severe.
I posted the tylenol pm and abbreva remedy!... Thank you for letting them know how they worked for you and as I tried to explain before, yes abbreva is for cold sores which is herpes anyway! And if this is safe for a persons mouth then its not going to hurt down there!... But I'm glad they worked for you! If you ever get another outbreak start using these as soon as the first itch! Don't wait until it becomes too sore! Once again... I'm glad you feel better!
