Never use the towel you dried your face with on another part of your body. And 55 million have recurrent symptoms, so you are not alone if you get them. T he first sign of a developing cold sore is often a tingling or itchy sensation. A small bump will develop, then it will turn into a blister. There may be inflammation in the area and fluid and or pus may ooze from the blister or blisters.
Some people get flu-like symptoms and fever just from a cold sore outbreak.
There is usually less discomfort with recurrence of cold sores than with the initial outbreak. All rights reserved.
