Question: Home remedies for herpies itchiness that work + best herpies meds?
Answers:
Here are a few you might want to try, for starters. Whatever you do, do NOT touch the sores with your fingers! Always use a cotton pad, Q-tip, or CLEAN wash cloth (do not reuse!):
-If itchiness is really intense enough that you keep scratching, try filling a plastic bag with ice cubes, covering it with a wash cloth, and sitting on it! Often numbs the nerves to reduce both itchiness and pain.
-Aloe vera gel (99% pure--avoid alcohol added to some)
-Brew some tea (green or black). Boil one cup of water--add 3-5 tea bags. DO NOT DILUTE with additional water. Soak a wash cloth or cotton pads and dot the sores. Do NOT touch the sores with your fingers! Ever! Repeat often. Do not reuse the wash cloth.
-Soak in a tub with 1 cup salt or 1 cup Epsom salts added. Helps heal the outbreak and reduce itchiness.
-A product called H-Balm is used by a lot of people with a lot of success. You may be able to find it at a health food store.
-A LEMON-BALM based ointment (most health food/vitamin stores) will also help a lot.
-ORGANIC apple cider vinegar, applied to the sores, stops the itching and helps healing.
-Some people have also found that Carmex (used for cold sores) is equally effective at reducing itching, redness and pain. CHEAP! You can buy a small tube for about $2.
I'm including a source that you also may find helpful. There are LOTS of remedies people have tried and that have worked for them. Experiment--and you may find just the one for you, too! It is NOT spam, and is totally free--and features home remedies that work!

Just noticed your question about herpes meds! Many doctors prescribe Valtrex--but it is VERY expensive--about $250 per month. Even the generic is expensive. MOST people get their doctor to write a prescription for GENERIC ACYCLOVIR. You can get it from Walmart/Kmart/Walgreens/and many other stores for about $4 a month! It works!
