I use calamine lotion on mine too and it really works faster than anything I've tried ... And it soothes the burn ... I also use 91% alcohol on a qtip and dab it a few times a day then soothe with carmex and at night I put calamine on it .... Works very wellReplied By Vera (Colorado) on 09/20/2023
For herpes sores, what works best for me is lemon balm ointment, L-lysine, and dabbing with 3% peroxide. If I catch it early, this is all that's needed.
I used to get really bad sores every 4 months or so, and found acyclovir invaluable in that. I still keep an old prescription on hand.
