A member asked:

What is the solution or treatment for recurrence of labialis sores ( sometimes every month i get one to five at once ) i use topical acyclovir for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Topical acyclovir: This formulation of acyclovir is next to worthless in shortening duration of lesions or preventing recurrence. It will reduce the risk of transmission of Herpes to others, but at the potential cost of creating resistance in your virus strain. Recommend you stop using this. You can use oral acyclovir salts. Discuss this with your doctor.
