I know this post is old and most likely SydAus will not see it, but I woke up today to find blisters on my butt crack. I was diagnoses with hsv2 15 years ago, and I knew it was an outbreak.

I purchased lysine powder 1000mg per scoop last week, so I took 1000mg lysine in the first hour, 2000mg on the second hour, 3000mg on the third hour. I also added some vit c every time (I have vitamin C powder in capsules, 1000mg on each capsule, so I opened the capsule and put maybe a 1/4 of the pill in the cup).

About half an hour after I took the 3rd dosage, I touched the area and SURPRISE!, no outbreak! I could not believe what I was feeling. I keep touching it but found nothing. I am blown away it worked. Usually those blisters go away after a couple days, so this was very exciting.

I already took my fourth dosage (4000mg lysine + some vit c).

So I can say lysine powder taken internally plus some vitamin C works to get rid of outbreaks right away.

The vitamin C is Now brand but I only bought it because it was cheap, less than 5 bucks.
