Daily suppressive therapy helps to prevent cold sores before they get a chance to show up. You can use valtrex, acyclovir or famvir for it. Give your doctor a call and ask about it if you are interested.

no i havent had therapy, can i ask my doctor for that and how does that work???? n yes i did i washed then i put sanitizer i just wanted to make sure, thank you grace! =^>
Well hopefully after you touch a cold sore, you are washing your hands.
You aren't going to give yourself hsv1 genitally though with having a well established oral hsv1 infection.
Have you thought about daily suppressive therapy to reduce the number of cold sores you are having if you have them frequently?
