I dont know if it works but it is this new
medication out now called famovir which is
better that valtrex I think. I took the
meds and two days later I had no issues
for almost two months

I have been treated for a single herpes
zoster in the corner of my eye. Being
medically treated with "CLINOVAR 400" in
tablet form. Not a cure but reduces
imflammation until next time. Don't know
if it is new.

I heard that zinc can really help an
outbreak if applied directly to the sore.
So if the HBalm you have contains zinc
then it will probably be good to use.
There is also a natural vitamin called
Lysine that helps prevent outbreaks. But
most of this stuff you have to take
everday to prevent outbreaks. Or you can
take the medication when you feel an
outbreak coming. Either way the outbreaks
come and they wont ever go away. You
kinda just learn to live with it.

The anti-virals are the way to go, valrex
or famovir. Go see a doctor and get them,
generic are available but you have to take
them every few hours.
H-balm seems to help keep the virus from
spreading once it reaches the lip, but the
actual virus is deep inside the nervous
system and topical solutions only go a few
layers of skin.
Start the anti-viral medication a soon as
you feel the tingle or itch, most of the
time I have no sore or a vary small one.
The longer you wait the more virus you
have to deal with and the more damage will
be done to your lip. Once the damage is
done, its done. The sore will just have
to heal, using Abreva after the blister
has burst or gone down will speed healing
time.
So in summary, anti-viral and keep h-balm
on the site until it starts to heal then
use Abreva. keep the anti-viral with you
at all times !!!!
