Stay away from your triggers. for me these are acidic things like coffee and citrus and tomatoes and pineapple, too much Sun, stress, getting sick. L-lysine helps a lot, I buy it in powder and take it daily and extra when I have an outbreak. Valtrex also helps minimize an outbreak. I have a silicone brush pad that I use to exfoliate my lips, and use moisturizer constantly — and this helps the most.
