I have herpes.
Damn, I hate cold sores. Right on my left upper lip.

So I'll be grotesquely disfigured for a couple of weeks. :eyes:

4. Go to the pharmacy and get L-Lysine
helps ease the outbreak and make you kissable again! :*

8. I think it's better if you take it in its pure form
versus as an ingredient in something. But then again, whatever works for you..

9. Can you get it OTC?
Isn't L-Lysine an amino acid?

(I'm so full of questions today! :P)

21. officially - it's a "carbuncle"

15. 800 mgs of ibuprofin 2 - 3 x per day.
It will knock it out faster. Stay away from caffiene, sugar, the sun and tomatoes.

22. Also stay away from peanuts
and know that women sometimes get them just before their monthly cycle

I personally haven't had one on my mouth or lips in years. I get them in my nostrils though.

24. stick some antiseptic creme on it!
before it gets too big. It will go away quicker.
