Has anyone used Abreva cream successfully on genital herpes blisters?

I have been using Abreva cream (which is marketed to treat HSV1 or cold sores) on my HSV2 blemishes. It seems like they take about a week to heal. I'm also taking L-Lysine 500 mg tablets three times a day. Has anyone had any experience with Abreva? Thanks.

    Hi,   I have had great relief eating pineapple everyday.    It has done wonders for me.   I have about a large slice everyday.

    and if i feel an outbreak coming on I double my intake.

    I used to get back to back outbreaks but not any more, I believe due to eating Pineapple every day.   The very Occasional outbreak i have got doesnt last long at all and its no where near as bad as I used to get them.

    Good luck

      I would love to know how you go with it.

      Please keep me informed. 

      It truly has been a huge relief for me.  Like I said I used to get one out break after another.

      All the best
