The best treatment is to take Valtrex or a similar medication as soon as you feel the "herpes tingle". If you don't want to use a medication there are a few things you can do to help.
Taking Lysine daily will help reduce outbreaks for many people. When you feel like you are getting one, increase your dose. Once you actually have an outbreak you can apply tea bags to the sore. This reduces the pain and can speed healing. You can also place tea tree oil directly on the area. This also helps to shorten the duration and ease the pain. Some people also swear by green tea or cranberry juice (drink or supplement)
From what I have heard from most people, the over the counter medications may or may not work. It is a hit or miss but worth a try,
Herpes outbreaks are often triggered by certain conditions. Since you know that the sun is one of your triggers, do your best to avoid direct exposure. Wear sunscreen and a hat. Try to limit the time in the sun to times when it is not at its strongest. Also make sure that you keep yourself healthy by cutting down on alcohol (especially when in the sun!!) eat healthy, and get enough rest. This will keep your immune system healthy and slow down the virus.
Go to your doctore and get a prescription for her/him for the cold sore.Then,go to the pharmacy to get your medicine.Apply to the doses on your medicine.It should last for about a week.Hope that helps!
