Quote from raiderrick43 :
Here is what I do and don't do.
I don't take Lysine as a daily vitamin.
When a cold sore appears I immediately crush a lysine tablet into a powder, mix it with a tiny amount of water and apply the paste to the sore. At the same time I ingest 3000 mg of the Lysine vitamin. Then Every hour or so I apply additional paste to the sore. Usually next morning the sore is either gone (depending on how quickly I caught it) or it hasn't gotten any larger than it was when I first applied the paste. For me Stress is the sole reason cold sores appear. Years ago Dr told me I could take a daily oral medication to prevent cold sores but he didn't think it was a good idea. I agreed.
Sometimes its noticed too late =(
Another tipis when you first notice it, take a q-tip, pour nail polish remover into a cap, dip the q-tip in to soak it, hold it against the cold sore spot for 30 seconds or so and then treat with the acicilovir/lysine/abreva or whatever method

As a side note:

To all out there, I strongly do not recommend taking "prescriptions" (aciclovir/valaciclovir/famcilovir pills)
every day for cold sores unless its really bad and you are getting them more than 2 or 3 times a year or getting them elsewhere. Its off label for cold sores on the mouth and despite generally being accepted as safe, I think it may be a carcinogen if you take it long term. Basing this on knowing someone that got cancer. Just, saying , there is no evidence of relation or support of the carcinogen claim hence the word "may" , I am just saying do not put more medication in your body then you need to

Pritelivir may be a promising alternative to the acycolivir/famciclovir based drugs going forwards but its only in trial - still I would take it on occurrence and not daily

Valtrex/Valaciclovir is a pro drug of acyclovir and is only pill form - in cream form its Zovirax brand but many generic OTC overseas
Famvir/Famciclovir is a pro drug of penciclovir and is only pill form - in cream form its Denavir , and better absorbed as a cream than acyclovir creams but more difficult to get overseas (sold as Fenvir/Vectavir) (forgive spelling , these are tough words)

Creams are safe and other than the Abreva, in the US prescription based are limited to Zovirax and Devavir. Doctors will rarely prescribe the creams and instead opt for the pills , arguing absorbtion and effectiveness

Acyclovir cream (generic Zovirax) is dirt cheap overseas and OTC but not in the US, its a rip off. You can buy it from Mexican pharmacies for $4 for a 5g tube under the brand Soviclor (Abreva is a 2g tube) - of course with overseas you will to pay a shipping charge so it pays to get multiple and stash them (expiration on creams is bs within reason - I would use 2 years after expiration, maybe not 10 years)

Penciclovir cream (generic Denavir) sells other brand labels overseas for a reasonable price (same company that produces Denavir I think) which is ridiculously priced in the US thanks to the pharmaceutical lobbyists. The advantage of Denavir/Penciclovir cream or acyclovir based creams is that it is absorbed better. However this drug is much more difficult to order for a reasonable price from overseas pharmacies. So unless you have a trip planned or an international friend that can send it to you , its difficult to get - Vectavir or something like that is one of the brands owned by major pharmaceutical

Sometimes you will have Amazon resellers and eBay resellers with the products but they are selling illegally as they require a prescription in the US -I actually thought of doing this as you can markup a tube of cream quite a bit but its illegal and too easy to get caught if you are based in the United States - and while it may seem petty, its considered a major crime.

So Fenivr - which is produced by Perrigo (a large generic manufacturer that produces most of the drugs for Costco/Sams and other US retailers) is a version of Denavir that you could likely get for under $10 overseas. However someone on eBay is selling 2 2g tubes for $100 plus $25 shipping - rip off - but ships from overseas so seller is less likely to get into "trouble" for selling illegally
