I'm sorry, confused. I've never had it above my waist either. Seems like the garlic would probably help. If I were you, I'd do a search (search button at the very top right of this page, not the ones right after each post) for, maybe, the word "oral" and see what you get (you'll get a lot of titles of threads, but should be able to tell which may have the best advice by the titles.) Make sure to choose only the herpes forum (on the right on the search page,) or who knows what kind of discussions you'll tap into! Seems like recently , the last two weeks, there were suggestions made about healing cold sores fast.

Oops, you got that second post in while I was posting mine! It's possible that you spread the h yourself. Are you sure it's h?

No matter what type you have (and you can have either type anywhere on your body,) if you spread it around your own body, it is still the same type, just in a different area. In that case, what you have done is gotten some of the virus on your fingers, then pretty soon after you must have touched or scratched your face, leaving the virus in another place. If you got it from someone else, like by kissing, then it may be the type you have, or it may not.

If you have any doubts aout it being h, maybe you shouuld get the sore cultured. There are bacterial infections and allergic reactions, too.
