Are cold sores cause by bacteria or virus?

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. No doubt you've heard of "herpes" before, but don't jump ahead of yourself. There are actually two types of herpes simplex virus, "type 1" and "type 2." Type 1 herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus type 1 ("HSV1") generally only infects those body tissues that lie "above the waistline" and it is HSV1 that causes cold sores in the majority of cases. Type 2 herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus type 2 ("HSV2") usually only infects those body tissues that lie "below the waistline" and it is this virus that is also known as "genital herpes." Herpes simplex virus type 2 is not usually the virus that causes cold sores, although it can.

Why can't the human immune system eliminate herpes viruses from neurons?

Current first line treatments for HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus type I, usually in the mouth region) and HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus type II, usually in the genital region) are Acyclovir, Valacyclovir and Famcicolovir. These drugs are nucleoside analogs. Their method of action is to prevent the production or new viral genetic material by inserting themselves into the viral DNA and terminating synthesis. Therefore, they are only functional against stopping the production of new viruses. These drugs cannot kill existing viruses lying dormant in the neuron. Currently no drug exists to kill dormant (non-replicating) HSV-1 or HSV-2 in the body.
