About an hour after I wrote the previous post, I began to experience diarrhea, which lasted for about 5 hours. I think the amount I took was too much for my body because I've taken 4g of lysine in the morning with no issue (I weigh 140lbs and I am 5'5"). Also, the blisters came back the next day, but they were much smaller and felt like skin bumps (goosebumps).
Or maybe I should have taken MORE vitamin C. SydAus recommended 6g vit c and 4g of lysine.
I think that can help temporarily if you have a visible outbreak and are going to wear a tiny bikini at the beach, for example.
