Not very likely. The herpes virus that causes cold sores "hides" in nerves and there are very few nerves in the nose area of the face compared to the mouth area.

Yes, cold sores can occur on the nose, mouth, eyes, and anywhere on the face. In herpes gladiatorum, herpes sores may also affect the neck and trunk.

Is it best to breathe out through the mouth?

Breathing through your mouth means you take in more air at a time, if you're running it can be a good method for breathing. However, with breathing through one's mouth you don't get the filtration that's given by breathing through your nose, "nose hairs" cilia work as tiny filters to help keep gunk out of your lungs, the mucus housed in your nose also helps with this. I recommend breathing through your nose over your mouth, while your mouth takes in more air at a time, you're more likely to catch a cold or bacteria(or dust, spit, etc.) in your mouth than you are in your nose.


Why you use catch or caught for fever or cold?
