Cold sore is also known as fever blisters and it is caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is not good news but you should know that herpes simplex virus can not be cured and an infected person will live with this virus for the whole life. This virus is not dangerous and can not kill you or harm your health but it will be the cause of fever blisters on your lips.
As I have mentioned above, cold sores is not a serious disease but it can cause pain and make a person feel embarrassed so it’s better to be treated if you want it to disappear earlier. If not treated cold sores will heal on their own in 4-7 days but effective treatment can reduce a number of fever blisters and it won’t be so painful.
To tell you the truth I am a person who lives with the herpes simplex virus and I have problems with cold sores several times a year. That’s why I decided to launch this “Cold Sore Treatment” site to systemize all information about cold sores, its symptoms and effective treatment. If you have the same problem with fever blisters as me you’d better look through my site and ask any question on “Cold Sores Forum” to get any information you need.
If you are not infected you are lucky and you should do your best to prevent it in future. Just follow these simple rules:
- Do not kiss a person with fever blisters and try to prevent any other close contacts.
- Do not share spoons, folks, cup and glasses with an infected person.
- Do not use razors which other people use.
Other useful information can be found on our forum or use search box above.
