I would like to share a simple treatment that seems to make genital herpes
lesions dry up, form a scab, and heal within a day or two:
I use a Q-tip soaked in hydrogen peroxide and scrub the lesion vigorously.
If the itching does not stop after the first application, I repeat it
after a few hours.
I discovered this simple but effective method 16 years ago when I 
contractd herpes and started experimenting with over-the counter 
medications.
Over the years about fifty friends and acquaintances of mine tried this
treatment with equally good results.
This treatment is a far cry from the exotic and expensive medications
that I have read about in the media, yet I do not know how to publicise
it since I am not a medical professional. 
I would like to have some comments from medical professionals on this
method, and why it has never been recommended as a treatment for herpes
lesions.

Cheers,
