Having suffered from cold sores, severe, for years, I have tried Azyclovir for an entire year of therapy to kick the virus back. They came back after the year with a vengence, sometimes 3 a month. I read about the thought that this virus is acutally a fungus, but was not willing to try the oral med x 9 months because of the damage to the liver. So I tried the tropical Clotrimazaole 1% for athletes foot. Bottom line is its too early, but I am now on day 15 with no outbreak with a daily topical application around my mouth. And then I found this : http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4438129/description.html I think and hope this may be something that will work.
