How to Clear Up Herpes - Heal Herpes Outbreaks Quickly, Minimise Pain and Itching

Herpes outbreaks are never fun

Herpes outbreaks are never fun. They usually occur at just the most inconvenient times as well, making sure that your life is disrupted as much as possible. It can be incredibly frustrating, and there's nothing worse than cancelling plans to go out or even just trying to enjoy a quite night in with friends, or any number of other social interactions, just because you're having an outbreak.

As a result of this, most people with herpes, myself included, would love to know how to clear up herpes outbreaks quickly and effectively. I've found a few methods that really work for me, and they could help you out a great deal as well. Using some of these I've managed in most cases to reduce the time the outbreak takes to heal (my outbreaks can be very uncomfortable and long lasting, I've knocked days off the usual healing time with some of these methods).

Epsom salt baths I've found are a great way to help clear up herpes outbreaks. Warm water and a cup of Epsom salts is incredibly soothing and also helps with itching and pain. Doing this once or twice (or as often as you want or can manage) a day really helps getting the healing process going.

Tea tree oil is another life-saver. It can sting a bit, especially the first time you apply it, but it is a wonderful antiseptic and healing agent. Applying this daily in the morning and at night before bed made an amazing difference to the time it takes for my herpes blisters to heal.

Another topical product I've just started using is lemon balm. I was put on to this wonderful stuff by a friend, and it not only helps clear up herpes blisters, it also reduces swelling (I get terrible irritated skin and swelling around my groin during a heavy outbreak) very quickly and soothes rashes and irritated skin.

These are just a few of my tips on how to clear up herpes outbreaks. I'll detail some more in future articles, so keep an eye out for them. Other Topics we'll look at in the coming days include living with herpes, dating with herpes and sex with herpes.
