I have always gotten fever blisters since I was a kid. My doctor has prescribed me a topical ointment to put on them called zovirax. It helps, but not as quickly as I would like. Well this morning, I started out with one and now i have 6. They are so painful and so humiliating. Is there something that I am doing to make them spread? I was told to ask my dr for Valtrex....... and for any of you who want to relate this to the STD herpes and be hateful, please save it for someone else. Thank you!

Valtrex would be effective. The virus that causes fever blisters is very similar to the virus that causes STD herpes. There is a prescription ointment called Denavir that is also effective. Abreva is the best over the counter treatment for fever blisters. You should try Abreva for a day or two to see if that works. If it doesn't, call your doctor.

As soon as I feel the blister starting and begging to turn red, and get itchy, start soaking it with Blistex. I keep a glob on it all time. Usually, it will never break out. Camphor is good and is used in the Blistex.



Eat lots of Pepperoncini Peppers. I used to have a little white sore in my mouth all time until I starting craving the peppers. After a couple of gallon jugs, over a period of time, I no long have them.



By the way, fever blisters (cold sores) area VERY contagious. Don't kiss anyone when they are broke out. They DO operate a lot like the STDs and are also a cousin. Good luck. Pops

Put an ice cube on it the minute you feel it begin, a tingle, go for an ice cube! Leave it on till the ice melts. Some creams actually cause more to come out. Ask your Dr. to prescribe something else.

Valtrex has unlabeled uses and the treatment of HSV-1 (what you have) is one of those uses. Speak to your prescribing physician about the advisability of switching you to Valtrex.

# If you are really bad these warts, there are vitamin called lysine. Taking the vitamins you can prevent your skin from the outside began to feel a tingling on the lips and not come out if it can shorten its life.
# perhaps a concert at the end of the corner or the guy who asked you out, get rid of fever blisters right away using hydrogen peroxide to a way around right. There are warning that this can cause scarring and is recommended that you use over and over again is not.

Herpes cant be cured whether you have HSV1 or HSV2 (STD is HSV2).

What you can do is to boost your immune system, drink a lot of green tea (but limit it to 1 cup per day as it contains caffeine), eat vegetables to fulfill your zinc and iron needs and eat multivitamin daily.
