“This topical cream has been shown to shorten the duration and lessen the pain of a herpes outbreak on the lips or face. It’s a good idea to have this medication on hand ahead of time, in order to start treatment at the earliest sign of an outbreak when it is most effective. You reapply it throughout the day, for as long as symptoms last. Abreva is a white cream that spreads easily on the skin and dries clear.”
