Natural raw Honey is the best for herpes oral/genital. Dr. Mercola's site has an article on it being more effective than the traditional therapies. Maintaining healthy vitamin D levels is essential to a healthy immune system and being in the higher limits of healthy vitamin D is optimal for preventing outbreaks.
and I have have not ever had these sores on the corners until I started treatment
I myself do suffer from genital herpes and I myself do feel all sores on the sides of the mouth are herpes.
Typical. I woke up one morning while under treatment with seven! I also had a cut on the top lip that would not heal until I got off treatment. Be careful with certain medicines for Herpes. They can affect the liver. Read and ask your doctor...

I don't know if this will help or not. Several years ago when I moved from the rainy section of the state to the desert section I had a horrible time with my lips drying out to the point of cracking at the corners. A bad time with dry skin too. I started putting on lip balms and moisturizers right after a shower while the room is still so steamy I can't even see in the mirror. All our pores are wide open at that time (I don't even know if lips have pores, lol) and it seems to work better. I haven't had that problem since, even with all the dehydration of tx. Nothing I do seems to help the rash going up the back of my neck into my hair though :(

Oh my goodness someone else that is having the same problem I am. I am not sure what to do about it. Please keep me posted as you find out.
