Acyclovir lip balm

Common Questions and Answers about Acyclovir lip balm

famvir

Avatar m tn You should use sunscreen while you are out in the sun (always a good idea anyway), or maybe a hat with a brim large enough to protect your face. Definitely get some lip balm with sunscreen in it. What antiviral are you on? You might try upping the dose if you know you're going to be out in the sun. If you take 500 mg of Valtrex, for example, try taking 1000 mg the day before, the day of, and the day after. I hope that helps!
Avatar m tn Think outside of the box, too - it could be as simple as a new lip balm or a food, but could also be another medication you might have just started using, a soap, shaving cream (if you're male), etc. Antivirals help a lot, but they can't override everything. I've had hsv2 for 15+ years, and acyclovir works wonderfully, but if I get a cold or the flu, forget it. Hope you feel better soon!
Avatar f tn no, not acyclovir ( xovirax ) cream. It's useless for herpes and too overpriced. You want to use acyclovir oral pills as outlined in the herpes handbook. fyi - if you are using the H balm system and a herpes antiviral like valtrex , acyclovir or famvir, you'll never know if the H balm worked or if it was the antivirals making it seem like the H balm system was working.
Avatar f tn t check if the other person had visible sores, and the lip balm that I used is the one where the lip balm applicator makes the balm come out of a little plastic hole, and you smear the plastic all around your lips, which I did. It was also a cold night so my lips are a bit dry at the moment, although I do notice some redness on my lower lip almost in the shape of a pimple but just red. It doesn't itch or anything, so not sure if I'm just panicking for no reason.
Avatar f tn Hi and thanks. I am familiar with the liquid as my older child went on it for two months because he was getting cold sores constantly. It worked, he rarely gets them, maybe one small one since then. their md does not want to start my younger one yet because of his age and potential side effects to the liver etc.. It seems that peanut butter, which he eats constantly causes him to break out with them. In my constant research it appears this is true due to the lysine vs arginine.
Avatar m tn Don't use lip balm for that, but a real sex toy. You had no risk.
Avatar f tn I’m a bit of a lip balm addict so then when I couldn’t find lip balm for about a week my lips got all chapped, then I got some lip balm finally and now ive got little bumps all over my lips that are a bit itchy and swollen but not really any pain. I think they’re lacking moisture so excess sebum has come out causing fordyce spots. But let me know!
Avatar f tn It appears that all these things that I mentioned and tried, were just aggravating the virus. I have been on acyclovir for about 1 year now. So far no outbreak. I am just worried when I stop the meds, it might start its appearance again. I don't want to stop the meds just yet. Does anyone know if I can take nosodes alongside with acyclovir. I would appreciate your help... Has anyone tried ?
Avatar f tn I am 21 weeks and have been using burts bees lip balm from about week 7. I thought it was best product from what I read, but I just found out it has rosemary extract in which is a herb you are supposed to avoid in pregnancy. Can anyone tell me their experience or if it is in fact safe?
Avatar n tn I've been applying Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm for two months and recently the edges of my upper lip started drying out and in 2 days my entire lip was swollen, red and burning and feeling stretchy, but its not chapped but feels extremely dry. It has happened to me twice before (had used Avon lip balm then) and i applied Smyle herbal gel and Vaseline and it worked. This time though it is not working. I've been applying Smyle gel and Himalaya lip balm to cure it.
Avatar f tn I have just recently been experiencing slightly swollen, itchy small blistering on my lips each time that I have used Burts Bee lip balm. It lasts for several days before it drys out.
Avatar m tn Four days after performing oral sex on a woman known to have genital herpes, I developed a sore just underneath my lower lip. She was not taking suppressive therapy at the time. I applied lemon balm cream and the sore resolved within six days without noticeable bistering or scabbing. Ten days after the first lesion, a second appeared on my upper lip on the skin border.
Avatar f tn The next day my friend used his lip balm but did not apply it directly onto his lips, keep in mind that he had just opened the lip balm it was new. After he applied the balm with his finger onto his lip, I used the lip balm directly onto my lips. If my friend did get something from the guy he had hooked up do I have a chance of getting it too? If my friend did get something, would have the disease spread quickly enough to his lips since it have been less than 24 hours.
Avatar f tn Thank you and we didn’tkiss or anything she just touch my lip with her finger with lip balm on and place it on her lips.
Avatar n tn I have been applying chap stick and paw paw balm before my lips became red and sore. The lip balm eases the pain and dryness but is not heeling the red blots or peeling. Thank you for your suggestions.
Avatar f tn I know the virus is living inside of me and everybody else who gets them, they hurt a lot yesterday morning when I woke up I already started with 3 of them on my upper lip. Do you break out with them when you are stressed? Yesterday my daughter had her 3rd hip surgery...
Avatar f tn Hi guys, please i need you help i am desperate. Last May i bought a new lip balm, and days after that i noticed my lips stqrted peeling. I thought it was just because my office is cold, but it became swollen and i noticed that it has crusts or dried up form of a watery discharge. It finally went away and i started using the said lip balm again, then days after that the symptoms came back.
Avatar f tn In the recent times I could see that its increasing and I am suspecting that using lip balm has made it even worse. Is that true?
Avatar n tn I have chapped and swollen lips for 7 years from mouth breathing during the night because i have allergies. I started using cordi balm (hydrocordisone lip balm) recently. It seems that my lips are getting worse, but everything makes it worse even plain coconut oil. I went to my dermatologist 7 years ago and did a biopsy and found nothing. Is it normal for my lip swelling to get worse befor they get better?
Avatar n tn My 9 year old son has a habit of always licking his lips which causes a red rash above his upper lip it's red and dry. What is the best lip balm or chapstick that will not only relieve stinging but also reduce the redness?
Avatar n tn This may also result to a red ring around the mouth. Moisturizing with lip balm containing sunscreen or petroleum jelly may help. However, if the redness, pigmentation, cracking or dryness persist and becomes painful, have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. Medicated lip balm may be indicated. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn If the area is irritated by a hot, dry climate, I recommend that you keep you lips moisturized with a lip balm. If you spend time outside you should look for a lip balm with SPF. I hope this helps.
