Can you have two colds at the same time?

I think I can answer this question. My experience with cold sores (also known as fever blisters) has been that they usually come in clusters of small sores. And, for me, they often seem to appear in one of two places - to the left of center on my upper lip or near the center of my lower lip. I don't remember ever having cold sores on the two places at the same time. I have, however, found a correlation with cold sores and chap stick (or any other product containing wax). Wax works great for chapped lips but I have found that I often get a cold sore after using chap stick - even new chap stick - or any other product containing wax. Read labels carefully because some products that come in a tube (A&D ointment) or a pot (Carmex) also contain wax. Cold sores are caused by a form of the herpes virus. My dad has always had them (as long as I've been around) but my mom (who's been married to him for over 50 years) never has. I started getting them once I reached puberty, although I wasn't yet sexually active at that time. My theory is that the wax in the chap stick (or whatever) prevents the skin from breathing and if you have the herpes virus in your system, the wax, by blocking the pores, creates an environment for the cold sores to develop. I now use only pure petroleum jelly or lotion (containing no wax) on my lips. It's not as effective as products containing wax for chapped lips but I don't seem to be getting cold sores any more either and, for me, this is a worthwhile trade off. I don't think most people have gotten this connection. Carmex, for example, is meant to be used for both cold sores and chapped lips but it contains wax and I've gotten cold sores after using it. Same with A&D ointment - it also contains wax. So stick with pure petroleum jelly or a lotion that you know contains no wax (read the labels to be sure) and see if it helps to keep the cold sores away. Btw, wax can be called different names on the labels so, if you want to run an accurate experiment and be sure, just use 100% pure petroleum jelly which contains no wax. And good luck!
