Unfortunately I have herpes outbreaks often over the many years of suffering and trying pharmaceuticals and natural remedies I found on my own that applying castor oil on a spot at the very first sign of an outbreak makes it go away very quickly. If you have cold sores it is the best for healing

It hasn't cured me of the virus but it sure helps with healing

Shingles treatment: My mother used a high quality pure castor oil slathered on the worst spots. She applied it most heavily at night and wore old pajamas because it's messy, but it worked immediately for her. We found the remedy somewhere online, years ago, so I can't reference it. But it worked.
