I’ve been getting cold sores more frequently the last couple of years. I used to get them once a year, but lately I’ve been getting them every 2-3 months or so (mostly from sun exposure). The last outbreak, about 1.5 months ago was particularly bad so I ended up doing some research on some preventative treatments. That’s when I discovered super L-Lysine. I bought this ointment towards the end of the last outbreak and have had it in my drawer ready to use in a moments notice. Low and behold I felt the “tingling” a few days ago and I immediately opened this baby up and applied some over my lips with a q-tip (taking care not to contaminate the tube). So far I’ve applied maybe 4-6 times over the course of 2-3 days. I still have some general tingling over the area, but no outbreak! I notice some puffiness where it was tingling but it’s barely noticeable. If they haven’t come through by now, I’m guessing this stuff suppressed the outbreak/blistering. This is the first time I tried a preventative measure and am super pleased.  Read Less
