what sores?  I am asumign you are referring to a HSV outbreak.  Fill your bath tub with warm water add some baking soda and take a bath, this helps soothe them.  I read you can also make a baking soda paste (a bit of water and baking soda) an put it on the sores to help to dry them up.   I have not tried this, but I have done the baking soda bath.

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
