My dermatologist puts his patients on Lysine for those of us who are prone to cold sores.  I use a lot of sun block and take lysine every day and have not had one for about ten years.

Lysine works wonders on cold sores on/in the mouth. If you are prone to them, take several doses (1000mg) at the onset for several days and it will significantly reduce the duration of the cold sore.

I take lysine for me! My chiro recommended it as an immune system booster when I was coming down with a cold. Dunno if it really helped, but I didn't get the cold.
