Yes, I have had a great deal of success with BHT. As of today, my breakouts have virtually come to a halt (and mine were chronic).

BHT is fat soluable. I began several months ago taking 250 mg. capsules with "high fat" meals. After about 2/3 weeks, the "blister" like breakouts I used to get went away. I began to get very small "pimple" like breakouts on my upper torso instead (when I'd eat trigger foods).

BHT takes about a day or so to dissolve in oil. Although I took the capsules (sometimes one 250 mg. with each meal if I thought I was eating "triggers") I always wondered if they were really disolving.

About two to three weeks ago, I tried dissolving some in vitamin E to use topically. That seemed to work well on any of the "pimples". I'd dab some oil on it them follow it up by touching the spot with powdered BHT. As I was running out of vitamin E, I went to purchase more but, as it turned out, I ended up getting wheat germ oil instead (30-35% vitamin E). This turned out to be a blessing in disguise. While it didn't work as well topically (because its yellow color puts a light stain on clothes) I makes an excellent base to dissolve the BHT in. I measured one tablespoon to 250 mg of BHT (did 10 tablespoons) and left it overnight. By the second day, it was all dissolved. I took one tablespoon in the morning with breakfast. Today I took one with breakfast and one with dinner. This seems to work really well. I know it is fully dissolved and I have been very clear so far. Small red spots that I had have begun to disappear.

It might take awhile until I am totally free of breakouts but at least I feel normal, again - and it is GREAT! :)

If I can help you with info. on what I've tried (or anyone else who might like to try BHT) please feel free to email me.

Sorry to hear. BHT is Butylated Hydroxytoluene, it's an antioxidant use in food products. There are several other posts if you use the search, or search for BHT and herpes on the web. Good luck to you.
