Treatment For Herpes

Looking into the treatment for herpes?  There are all sorts of solutions available for the dreaded cold sore, from prescriptions to store bought products and even home based solutions, but which one should you go with?

It can be difficult to decide on any one without having tried it, you see different products work for different people and sometimes people get immune to certain treatments and have to look elsewhere.  So here are a bunch for you to give a shot at and see if they work out for you:

1.     Abreva

This is one of the more popular treatment for herpes and is usually available over the counter.  It’s basically a lip balm that you can apply 3-5 times a day.  It contains 10% docosanol which is the active ingredient that helps heal the cold sores.  I have a gripe about this treatment though since for some it either:

• Does not work at all
• Does not work if you apply it too late in the cold sore development
• Does not work after long term use (you develop a resistance to it)

It is worth a shot though.

2.     Hydrogen Peroxide

One home based solution you can try out is hydrogen peroxide, you can pick this up at your local drugstore.  This stuff will dry out your cold sore quick so that it scabs quicker and thus heals faster.  Just dip a Q-Tip into it and apply it to the affected area and make sure you don’t double dip.

Now if you’re looking for a more effective treatment for herpes than these 2 solutions, they are out there.  One of the more potent ones for both oral and genital herpes is Herpeset.  It’s sprayed under the tongue where it Is immediately absorbed into the blood stream rather than other treatments that have to go through the digestive tract.  It’s the fastest acting treatment out there, perfect for getting rid of the sores before important events.  Click here to learn more about it…
