Constant outbreaks?? How to end them?

Hey, 

I've been having outbreaks for about 8 months now. I got my first one at the end of April. Since then, I have had painful outbreaks at LEAST once a month. I am about to get my 3rd of this past month. 

They always come when my period does, and then sometimes I get an extra one. 

I've tried L-Lysine, and it didn't do anything. I use cornstarch to dry out the blisters and that helps, but I want to prevent outbreaks, not just treat them. 

Please tell me everything you've ever tried that works to prevent outbreaks. 

I've heard that a certain kind of diet can help- has anyone tried it? I need help

I’ve had 5 outbreaks, including the first, since Sep. I’m going to ask the doc for suppressive therapy. The Valtrex helps the outbreaks and clears them up really quickly for me, but I want to prevent them.

Suppressive therapy (daily meds) is the best if you're really getting outbreaks that often. There is no special diet other than a balanced, healthy one. Lysine/arginine is not clinically proven. 

pls see doctor, and take medicine.

meantime clean the area use mild soap and keep dry all the time
