The Story of the Amazing Cold Sore Virus
Cold sores are small blisters that form around the lips or nostrils caused by the herpes simplex virus.

What is the cause of Cold sores?
There are two types of the herpes simplex virus(HSV-1 and HSV-2). Both can cause cold sores but most are caused by the HSV-1 herpes virus. Cold sores are also called fever blisters because they are associated with fever. They can be very painful and can occur on the chin, fingertips, or cheeks.

The herpes virus can be highly contagious entering the body through a break in the skin, and can be spread by touch, from an infected person's utensils, using razors, or from a parent with the virus kissing a child.

The blisters from cold sores contain a clear fluid. When these blisters break, scabs can form over the area. Cold sores can last from a few days to up to two weeks.

There is no cure for a viral infection such as cold sores. The herpes simplex virus is hidden in the nerve roots and are not removed by medicines that are presently available for treatment. Once the virus is entrenched in the body those people with the virus will continue to get cold sores off and on throughout their life.

Herpes can be spread from a cold sore to another area of the body such as the finger (herpetic whitlow). To prevent spreading the virus to other parts of the body, it is important to wash hands properly after touching the sore..
