Cold Sores On Lips Usually Prompted By Stress. Buttocks Muscles Uneasy. Use Lysine Regularly.

Though I've gotten 'cold sores' on my lips all my life, for past 3 decades I've had outbreaks on my left rear cheek. Usually prompted by stress of some sort---. For a very long time I thought I had 'genital herpes', yet the cluster of 'cold sores' are never in the genital area--but always somewhere on my left butt-cheek. For a couple days beforehand, I get feeling a little fluey and irritable. Achy and tired. Then the outbreak occurs. It always 'feels' like something is 'moving' through that buttocks muscle--maybe as it's making it way to the surface? Then the pain and sting of it all for a few days! Through a 'House MD ' program I came to realize what I had might be called 'Herpes Encephalitis'. What we saw on that person's behind on the screen looks exactly like mine! Could this be correct? I use L-Lysine regularly which helps hold outbreaks at bay unless I get stressed. Coconut oil also helps dull pain--no idea why--and seems to dry them up quicker.
