I have heard apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball held to the area for a short time, but I don't know if it works.
The best thing I have ever used for cold sores is Lactinex pills. Ask your pharmacist. They are not prescription, but have to be refrigerated so they are not out on the counter. They somehow replace healthy microbes in the body that suppress the herpes virus. Start taking them at the first tingle, and sometimes it won't even go ahead to develop into a cold sore. Stop taking them when the cold sore or the feeling of a cold sore is gone.
The second best thing is Acidophilus pills. I believe it works the same way as the Lactinex but it takes longer. You will find it in the vitamin section. Again, ask your pharmacist how many you can safely take. Stop taking them once the threat of cold sore has passed.
This must be the best kept secret ever because I tried everything else to no avail until my pharmacist told me about the Lactinex.
I tried Lysine, but it did nothing to help me. Maybe it has to be taken consistently instead of just during an outbreak.
I hope this works as well for you as it has for me. I have often wondered if it would work for genital herpes as well, but I just don't know.

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/TreatmentHerpes2o158mvr
Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams. This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

Go to the vitamin section of your store and get a vitamin called L-lysine. take 2 or 3 pills in the morning and repeat in the evening. I don't know the science but it works great. will help clear up in 2-3 days at most.
