In the first fifteen minutes of a feel of an outbreak - put an ice cube in a cloth and press upon sore. Sometimes this will heal the outbreak before it flares. If it is after that - campho phenique works. There is also a prescription Actolevir that can be described. I have had these all of my life and the ice trick is the best thing ever. Also never kiss anyone with an outbreak. Never share lipstick, cups, lip balms, etc. Some peope don't realize that if there is an outbreak you are contagious the whole time that sore exists on your lip.
