I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing discomfort. To help make the outbreak disappear faster, here are some tips:
1. **Consult a Healthcare Provider**: It's important to seek medical advice from a healthcare provider who can provide proper guidance and treatment options tailored to your situation.
2. **Medication**: Antiviral medications prescribed by a doctor may help reduce symptoms and shorten the duration of an outbreak.

4. **Avoid triggers** such as stress, illness, fatigue, hormonal changes; they could prolong or worsen outbreaks.
5: Stay hydrated with water
