About two-thirds of us have been infected with the HSV-1 virus. What to know about preventing and treating cold sores:
Cold sores -- you might hear them called fever blisters -- are proof that life can be unfair. Some people get them, others don’t. If you get them, don't worry. There are ways to treat and prevent them.Despite the name, that isn’t what causes them. The herpes simplex virus type 1 is most often the cause. You get it from contact with an infected person’s skin or body fluids. The virus damages your skin as it reproduces. That leaves behind weepy sores that last about a week.
Don’t kiss, and don't share toothbrushes, silverware, or glasses. Skip oral sex. That will reduce most of the spread of HSV-1, although you may not be able to control the spread completely.While the first outbreak can last up to 2 weeks, the ones after that may not be longer than a week. There’s no cure for cold sores, but some over-the-counter creams and gels can ease symptoms like burning and pain. You can also try hot or cold compresses.
