Cold Sores Date: Friday, July 1, 2005 Time: 1:00 AM EST Kenneth Kimbrell kimbrellkm@cvn76.navy.mil Country of Remedy: USA Ingredients: Nail Polish Remover, Sterelized Needle, Neosporin cream. Instructions: Hello, My name is Kenneth Kimbrell, and I have been suffering from the HSV1 (cold sore) virus since I was about four, I am now 20. They always seem to show up at your biggest debuts, probably caused by the stress. They are quite common in my family so I assume it was spread to me through them. Cold Sores are the worst experience any man or woman at any age could possibly deal with. It affects your self image, which is important to all of us, and destroys your confidence to an absolute zero. I always tell myself that there are people with worse problems, this is true. However this is not just my problem and I am not the only one who suffers from these outrageously embarrassing and unsightly sores. For the longest I just used over the counter medicine, such as abreva, herpicin-L, etc. Then eventually it seemed as if my sores would become immune to the affects of the medicine which gradually decreased. So I set out on the internet (of course) to look and see what medicines were out there. To my surprise I found this website which has changed my life forever, and I am sure others around the world like me. I was surprised to notice that this was not a website to sell you fake herbal medicine

A couple of days before the big event, you feel that tale-tell tingling on your lip, and you know you're going to have a cold sore, just in time for photos. Cold soresannoying and unattractive blistersappear next to or on your lip, and seem to come at the most inopportune times. "Cold sores are caused by a common virus passed from person to person through touch or close contact. The virus is called herpes simplex type 1, HSV-1," says Dr. Patricia Winokur, assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Iowa College of Medicine and staff physician at UI Hospitals and Clinics. There are two types of herpes simplex virusesHSV-1 and herpes simplex type 2, HSV-2. HSV-1 most commonly causes the sores on your mouth, Winokur explains. HSV-2 is usually sexually transmitted and often causes sores on the genitals. Since the herpes virus is transmitted by touch, you can get the virus by touching someone else's cold sore and then touching your own mouth, Winokur says. "If you have a cold sore, and you kiss someone, you can pass the virus to the person you kiss."

What causes them? The virus is picked up through contact with someone who has active infection Cold sores are caused by an infection with the herpes simplex virus. The virus is picked up through contact with someone who has active infection (for example, from someone who has a cold sore) - the virus is passed on in saliva. After an incubation period of three to five days, the initial infection (sometimes called the primary infection) may cause a variety of problems, although in the majority of cases there are no symptoms and it goes unnoticed. The virus isn't cleared from the body but lies dormant (inactive) deep in the nerve cells. Certain triggers can reactivate the virus, causing it to travel down the nerve to the skin surface where it produces a cold sore. Triggers include illness, stress, UV light (exposure to bright sunshine) and cold.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Herpes Cold sores vs. canker sores — Oral sex risks? Originally Published: September 06, 1996 Dear Alice, What's the difference between a canker sore and a cold sore? In your response to Oral sex with canker sores , you replied that it was safe and could not cause an infection of the genital region. My girlfriend had what we thought was a canker sore, and I happened to become infected with what we have assumed to this point is herpes. Would a cold sore cause this or did we just win the lottery with a canker sore? Sincerely, ignorant Dear ignorant, First, if you have not already done so, see a health care provider as soon as possible, as diagnosis of genital herpes is easier when clinical symptoms (lesions) are present. This is important because you need to be certain about your genital herpes status so that you can receive appropriate education and treatment, and also get referrals to other health professionals if needed. In addition, if you are diagnosed with genital herpes or another sexually transmitted infection (STI), and if you and your girlfriend have had any unprotected sexual activity involving skin-to-skin contact and/or an exchange of bodily fluids since having had oral sex, she needs to visit a health care provider for an examination, as well. In a nutshell, canker sores are painful ulcers, or open sores, on the inner membranes of the mouth and cheek that can resemble pimples on the tongue. Canker sores are not considered to be contagious and are of uncertain origin.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Colds, aches, pains, and other ailments Cold sores Originally Published: April 19, 1996 Dear Alice, I get cold sores around my mouth and nose all the time; I have since I can remember. I know that they can be caused by both physical illness and mental stress. Is there any way to reduce the frequency with which I get them, i.e., diet? Please help me, I feel like a leper. Yours truly, Jen Dear Jen, Most cold sores are a result of the herpes simplex virus that some people harbor, which crops up as an outbreak or "episode" from time to time, usually from stress and many times from too much sun. The healthier we keep ourselves, including staying generally healthy, eating well, getting enough sleep, and managing the stress in life, the stronger our immune systems, and the less likely we are to have a herpes episode. Some people find that keeping their lips moisturized in the winter, covered with sunscreen in the summer, and protected from the wind, seems to decrease the number of outbreaks. Seeing a nutritionist is a way to make sure you are eating a well-balanced diet. Healthy food may strengthen the immune system creating a positive result. When you say you get cold sores all the time, Alice is unclear about the frequency and the severity of your episodes. Have you been to a doctor about them? What assistance have you gotten so far?
