Go see your doctor and see if using medication is right for you. There are medications out now to suppress outbreaks.

the best way to reduce outbreaks is to improve your health.
the virus is dormant until your resistance drops, allowing it to grow.

Acyclovir is the generic form of Zovirax. A prescription is needed, so you need to see your doctor. When you first start to feel that "tingle", (I'm sure you know what I mean) that tells you a breakout is coming, start taking the medicine. A lot of times, the breakout won't occur. Take the medicine for two or three days. There are a lot of reasons for the breakouts. Getting upset, stress, not eating healthy; at times the biggest reason is having your period when the hormones are doing things in your body. Have you noticed if your period and the breakouts occur at about the same times? See your doctor. Hope this helps.
