Is there anything you can do when you have a herpes outbreak, such as something topical?

Answer 1

There is only one topical medication available for genital herpes - acyclovir ointment.

I have personally tried acyclovir ointment and it worked fine. I only used it during my first outbreak though (along with acyclovir tablets and famciclovir tablets). When I get outbreaks now, I just use acyclovir tablets and it works great.

DON'T use over the counter products for genital herpes. See your doctor ASAP and get some medication. Good luck!

It is estimated that over 80% of the general population has been infected with the herpes simplex virus. Of that total, about one third of these people will develop and get a cold sore. What can they do to treat it? What are the options?
If you, or someone you know has had cold sores, then you know first hand just how difficult it can be to find a way to heal them. Many have tried various cold sore remedies such as using ice, putting on over-the-counter creams and many other methods without having much success. Now, over the past few years there have been two FDA approved prescription medications made available in treating a cold sore. Which one is the better choice?
Zovirax Cold Sore Cream
Zovirax is the new kid on the block so to speak, being FDA approved in 2002. Zovirax is basically the same as Denavir except in dosage. Instead of applying every 2 hours, the instructions say to apply 5 times per day for 4 days total. Like Denavir, you should apply Zovirax immediately upon signs that a cold sore is beginning to develop.

.There is a herpes cream which is Acyclovir but it is sold under the name Zovirax. Zovirax is used to treat herpes infections of the skin, lip, and genitals; herpes zoster (shingles); and chickenpox. It does not cure herpes infections but decreases pain and itching and promotes healing. Topical Zovirax does not prevent the recurrence of sores but may decrease pain and itching if applied when the earliest symptoms first appear. Oral Zovirax decreases the frequency and severity of recurrent sores. I buy Zovirax online at RemedyHerpes.com, a US licensed and located pharmacy. Visit GenitalHerpesTreatment for a lot more great information on Herpes. I hope this helps you dear.
