Cold Sores

Yes a person can have herpes and not pass it on.

It is NOT likely a pimple by the mouth is herpes.

Sure. Many people can be carriers of disease but not actually having symptoms themselves.

Well, cold sores are caused by all of the acid that goes into your mouth. For instance, maybe you're drinking too much soda. So, all you have to do is:

-don't drink soda all the time

-drink milk and water

Hope I helped!

Perhaps this person from the first answer is thinking of canker sores that are inside the mouth.

Cold sores/fever blisters are the same thing.

Their medical name is Herpes simplex 1. It is not the same as genital herpes simplex 2 but the same family.

Herpes (cold sores,fever blister) is a virus with no cure. Once you got it you got forever. But the intensity and frequency drastically decrease the as the years go by.

So there is no way to prevent an outbreak but there are certain triggers: a fever (hence the names-fevers come with colds) & time in the heat and sun (because it makes your body hot).

Only one thing was ever effective against mine & it was anti-perspirant. Put it right on the sore right thru the blister & then the scab stage.

Where my sores would last up to 2 weeks - with anti-perspirant they were gone in 5 days max.

It dries out the blister makes it scab in a 10th of normal time & then dries out the scab so much it falls off after 1 or 2 days.

It makes sense, of course, cause anti-perspirant is made to keep skin dry .

Make sure he is calm at the time and tell him you need to talk. Tell him in a private place, and let him freak out for a minute if needed. If he really loves you, he will stick with you. If not, he's not the right guy for you anyway.

it typically depends on the conditons i would be cause it helps relive pain right after that i usually put bag-balm on it going from the surrounding area in to pervent further infection. REMEMER not to let dirt and moisture near the area(s), because it thrives on those things.

Men can use acyclovir for cold sores.

Yes.I have asked 2 doctors about this. The virus that causes cold sores around the mouth is herpes simplex 1. They are easy enough to spread, and I have found no distinction between simplex 1 and 2 (ect.) other than the site.

No, swallowing the sperm will not cause herpes. If your partner has herpes, you have already been exposed by the time you reach this stage.

i have this problem right now and im about to be on my period and i feel horrible honestly idk but im looking it up on the internet, but i do feel your pain cuz i feel sluggish, sick, and pain.(sore throat and my nose hurts from blowing it in a tissue every minute. So, idk maybe look into it go to your doctor, ect. ....

Unfortunately, even if there are no visible sores there is still a small chance that you can get herpes. The odds are low but you should get checked out.

Herpes is spread by skin-to-skin contact with the infected area. It's contagious during and just before an outbreak.

You can try warm salt water or take a wet tea bag and hold it against the sore several times a day. You can buy Abreva over the counter which may help relieve symptoms. Visit your doctor if you have a large breakout since there are antiviral medicines available if you catch it early.

If you have symptomatic herpes, then usually it is very clear since the blisters that herpes produces are very characteristic. The are red, filled with pus and eventually crust over. If seen through the whole cycle, it is hard to mistake it for anything else.

Anyone can get herpes. Viral transmission of a disease is not age dependent.

Anyone who has intimate contact with someone with herpes can get the disease. Safe sex practices can reduce the risk but can not eliminate it entirely.

Cold sores are caused by a virus so you would need antiviral medication like valtrex or famvir. Or you can also go the natural rout and try taking lysine. There is also over the counter creams that you can apply to the cold sore regularly to help heal it.

Actually, genital herpes and mouth herpes, as they are popularly called, are just names used by the general population. You can get either virus in either place; the only difference is that the the oral version, or HSV-1 usually prefers the area around the mouth and the genital version, HSV-2 generally prefers the genital area.

Which version or strain of the virus you have is easily detected by a simple blood or swab test.

Sudocrem is a skin healing cream specifically designed for nappy rash.

However the company also state on their website that it can be used on cuts and grazes, minor burns, sunburn, eczema, dermatitis, acne and bed sores.

Some people have used it for cold sores with different levels of success rates. Some people claim it has no effect while others claim it does the job quickly, so it depends on your body.

Give it a try if you like. However, if you have used the sudocrem on the bottom of a baby with a rash for example, it might be a good idea to avoid using it on a cold sore, since the bacteria will just be transferred from the pot to your mouth.

Zovirax and Blistex are designed specifically for cold sores and are available over the counter at a pharmacy or drug store.

A person with an STD may experience headaches, but typically they would not be the only sign of STDs. Talk with your health care provider about your headaches, and ask to be screened for STDs if you have concerns.

If you have herpes 3 months prior to getting pregnant, you body has developed antibodies and it is less likely that you would pass it to the fetus. If you get infected while pregnant you could pass it to the fetus.

It is important if you have herpes that you let your doctor know. Herpes is typically transferred to the baby during labor through the birth canal. If you have an outbreak during labor they will do a C-Section.

Many women notice that they are more likely to have herpes outbreaks at the time of their periods. For women looking to avoid pregnancy, using hormonal birth control with constant hormone levels may decrease the number of outbreaks.

We can only hope research will one day come up with a cure.

If you have a positive herpes test but no symptoms, you are lucky. The next step depends on the type of test you had. If it was a blood test, there may be no changes required in your life. If it was a genital swab test, you should use condoms when you have sex and avoid sex during an outbreak.

Herpes affects women the most.
only affects monkeys only!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
