cold sores
"I suffer from chronic cold sores for 18 years. I used to just get them on my lips. The last 5 years I noticed it spread to different locations, but I stopped getting them on my lips (unless I use chap sticks, lip sticks, or etc). My nostrils were constantly afflicted and my nose hurt all the time.  In last 3 years I noticed sores on my body that would not heal! My first doctor did nothing to help me, but a year ago new doctor put me on 1G valtrex generic.... after that everything stopped, everything healed. After 3 months we lowered it to 500 mg. I take it daily! Best medicine to help me..... no outbreaks and it has been 1 year and 2 months!"
