In addition to the lysine, consider vitamin D3, zinc, c and the B vitamins. Lemon Balm is very helpful for cold sores. I've used the essential oil diluted in a fatty oil and applied it to John's shingles. If they are too problematic, ask your doctor about an anti-viral med like acyclovir (sp).
Regarding the welts.....John would get hives/welts when his platelets were low. Cold, friction and alcohol would bring them out. He would have to take Zyrtec about an hour before doing any exercise in the winter to avoid a break out of massive hives.
What advice does your doctor have at this point?
