An apparatus and method for preventing the formation of a herpes lesion by applying an electrical stimulation to the prodromal herpes lesion. The electrical stimulation apparatus is configured to be small enough to be hand portable and, preferably, concealable within the hand to accommodate treating the prodromal lesion at the onset of the formation of the prodromal lesion at any time and under any circumstance. The electrical stimulation is applied as an alternating current having a frequency range between one and 600 Hz. The alternating current is supplied with one of a square wave, a modified biphasic square wave, or a sine wave and between one and 100 milliamperes for a period of time up to 20 seconds.
