What vitamins should I take after a chemical peel in order to speed up the healing process?
Lysine is said to help promote healthy skin, and Vitamin C helps support the immune system. Will taking these two supplements after a chemical peel help speed up the healing process? And if not, which vitamins would be best? And how much of it should I take? Also, are there any vitamins I should avoid during this healing process? Thank You!
cold sore-genital transmission?
hi i had an EXTREMELY mild "cold sore". it was not sore, open, never tingled, never itched, and its practically healed at this moment, and did not even seem to carry liquid [not really a blister]. i also take vitamins to boost my immune system such as lysine, vits a, c , e, folic acid among a few others. i treated it religiously with dial soap, zinc cream and this skin mineral. like i said its very mild. yesterday i got intimate with this guy, and i BRIEFLY licked his penis 2x, away from the corner of my mouth. assuming this is a cold sore, what are his chances of contracting something? its very mild and the contact was veryy brief.
the infected part of my skin didnt touch him, and like i said 20x it was barely a cold sore...and this is the 3rd day and its gone practically [at least seems like it] and we didnt kiss, corner of my lip did not touch anywhere once or that side of my mouth for that matter. im very worried tho. does anyone know or opinions?
i recently went to the gyn and am fine and taking care of myself really well.

What else can I take to improve my health?
I am currently taking Gaia Herbs: Adrenal Health (which contains Holy Basil and Rhodiola root),Krill Oil, L-Lysine and Centrum Ultra Women's Multivitamin. I also take the Paradise Herbs Green power that I mix with my juice
Any other suggestion for me to take to improve myself. I have a low immune system and taking all my vitamins have helped. However, I still can't find the energy to get up most time in the morning. (I am college student and I also supervise overnight at a shelter. So my stress level can be high at times, any suggestion for anything else that will improve myself (maybe also the dark undereye circle I have and my hair).
Thanks
