    Manuka honey helped during my outbreak. It cut the inflammation and itching in half. Of course, I started applying it about 2 days after I started the Valtrex so I can’t be sure that it helped, but I feel like it did.

    I put tea tree oil on mine when I am having an current outbreak ..

    And it actually heals it really quickly

    It’ll vary from person to person. Tea tree oil really didn’t help me but a hot compress did relieve pain.

    I use tea tree oil every breakout. It's the only thing that even remotely helps with the itching. It also makes the sores heal and go away faster. I usually apply it and lemon balm at least 3-4 times daily.

      How often do you get breakouts? I’ve only had the first one where I had sores and the second which was pure itching. Vagisil helped with the itching the second breakout.

      I'm newly diagnosed within the last 6 months..i've had two break outs but I get the itching once a month. Vagisil doesn't do anything for me at all! I've really only found that Teatree oil and Lemon Balm are the only things besides neosporin that help with the itching.

    I’ve never had an OB (diagnosed via blood for H2 last month) but I get itchy around my clitorus at times like the beginning of a yeast infection. Over the weekend I picked up some tea tree oil and mixed it with my coconut oil before applying and it was instant relief!! 😀 I was so happy and the yeast is also gone or barely noticeable. I use it daily after a shower so far and it’s a godsend for me!! 🙏🏼

      I am going to steal your idea 😊 Haha coconut oil with tea tree oil doesn't sound bad.

      No problem, I hope you have similar results!! I also used to feel really raw down there on the outside area and the combo calmed all of that down..👌🏻
