cold sores
"I used to get cold sores QUITE frequently. I would say about once a month. Healing time for me was about two weeks so I would only have about 2 weeks of no cold sores. My previous doctor prescribed me a topical cream that did absolutely NOTHING for me. I was finally prescribed acyclovir by a new doctor and it helped lessen the healing time to about 4 days. Then this same doctor noticing I was still getting cold sores frequently, prescribed me Valtrex. This absolutely has changed my life. After my first outbreak, the cold sore was gone the next day."
