Carmex is the best thing out there right now. Anything stronger requires prescription. Any other home remedies may make it worse.

L-Lysine! It is natural & you can find it in any drug store and are likely to find it on any well stocked vitamin isle in a grocery store or department store. It works better if you DO NOT take it with protien.
And it is a good preventative, too. When you start feeling that tingelling, burning sensation that lets you know one is coming on, take lysine to prevent it from coming.
And it works differently than the Prescription med Acyclovir so you can take both at the same time.

I found the use of Carmex, or any other lip treatment, seemed to lengthen the healing time ... due to the constant moisture it provides. When I used to get them, I used rubbing alcohol on it ... the alcohol dried them up real fast ... within a day or two.

Get Zilactin-L. If you put it on at the first tingle you wont even get one. Obviously you will have to wait for next time to prevent it from occuring but it still gets rid of them pretty quickly if you do get one so it's not too late. I have tried them all, this is the best I have found. Also, you can take Lysine, that helps too.

I use Blistex. Works quick and reduces redness.
