During an outbreak, keep the infected area as clean and dry as possible. This will help your natural healing processes. Some doctors recommend warm showers in order to cleanse the infected area. Afterwards, towel dry gently, or dry the area with a hair dryer on a low or cool setting. To prevent chaffing, some people also find it helpful to avoid tight-fitting undergarments. Most creams and lotions do no good and may even irritate.
It has been found that foods high in I-Arginine may cause herpes outbreaks.
free-form lysine has shown to be beneficial in controlling herpes along with a diet high in lysine and low in arginine.

A few people I know will sit or shower with cool water to cool their skin down, it helps. I know it's painful. In emergency a couple of Benadryl pills might help if you don't have any meds of your own.
