i dontknow if anyone uses any topical ointment when having an outbreak. luckily my last outbreak was more external on the lower/inner part of my buttocks. I put this ointment on and a bandage over it since it was exposed while i was wearing short and my outbreak cleared in 3 days. so i just thought id share my experience and maybe iit will help one of you the ointment is call lip clear lysine yes i used it down there to heal my sores and it seems to work really great for instant relief.File size is too big
Thank you for sharing 
I usually apply ointment with propolis or propolis extract on my sores too. It helps healing a lot faster!
