A magnet placed on the spot as soon as you feel tingling generally keeps it from erupting. However, if already erupted, place the magnet on there and it generally scabs off in about 3 -7 days. Magnetics also cut pain. They seem to keep the sores from spreading too!In case it's not possible to use a magnet, try some concentrated (very salty) water on the affected area often, it may help dry the scabs quickly.
