For me chapped lips were a big trigger, so I keep a lip balm with spf on all day now and it seems to help me get fewer flare ups.
I try to be gentle with the area and not pick at it, and I have found that staying hydrated and rested makes my healing feel smoother.
A lot of members here mention lysine rich foods and using abreva early as part of their comfort routine, but I would check with a pharmacist about what fits you.
This is exactly the kind of thing the community is for. Small consistent habits beat any single fix, in my experience.
I keep a balm in every pocket now, it really does help.
Protecting my lips before skiing changed everything for me.
