Cold Sores

You can look in a medical book. These can be found in college and university libraries. They might be difficult to find. You can look at a medical school website.

No hun, herpes doesn't work like that.

They would have to touch a cold sore then with in seconds touch your genitals in order for you to have any chance of getting herpes on your genitals. Or they would have to give you oral sex while they had a visible cold sore.

By the way... cold sores are rarely caused by genital herpes (HSV2), they are caused by the oral herpes virus (HSV1).

Skin to skin contact will transmit the virus.

Cold sores are very contagious during a break out. If you have a visible cold sore then don't share things like utensils or cups when you have a break out. You also shouldn't be kissing any one (specially children) on or around the mouth until the cold sore has completely gone away.

You should also know cold sores can also be spread during oral sex. If you give some one oral sex while you have a vsible cold sore you could pass it to your partner's genitals.

It's safer to do those things in between break outs or when you have no signs or symptoms of a cold sore.

The herpes virus causes cold sores to appear.

I'm going to say it's probably not the best thing to use to treat cold sores with. It's a cream that is used to treat lesions in cancer patients.

All you need for a cold sore is an over the counter cream or antiviral medication.

Drinking a lot of acid will not cause a fever blister.

If you have been sexually active, without using protection you could have an STD. If you have not been sexually active you could have a bacteria infection.

Anytime you have painful sores or pain in the general area of unexplained sores on or near your vagina you should see a doctor, or health clinic - to be sure there is no infection inside your vagina that could also develop in your uterus and result in scar tissue that could take your fertility.

Cold sores are caused by a virus, and polysporin is not active against viruses, so it won't work for cold sores.

Herpes blisters do have a clear pus in them. This pus is actually the virus in a concentrated form. That's why you need to take extra good care of your hygiene when these are present.

Extremely unlikely. HIV is a bloodborne virus and so it is transmitted by blood to blood contact. If the woman has open sores in her mouth and you have an open and bleeding wound on your penis then it is possible to transmit HIV. But if the skin on your penis is intact and she is not bleeding from her mouth then it is extremely unlikely that you could catch HIV by receiving fellatio from a woman who was HIV positive.

Bactroban is not effective for viral cold sores.

Other names for a cold sore are fever blister, oral herpes, labial herpes, herpes labialis, and herpes febrilis.

One notable difference is the method of contraction. You can contract genital herpes by sexual contact ("sexual" being short-hand for skin-to-genital contact) with someone who is him/herself infected with genital herpes. Shingles, on the other hand, is a recurrence of chickenpox. It isn't contracted by sexual contact except in the rare instance where you originally got chickenpox by having sex with somebody with chickenpox. You simply can't spread shingles to somebody else if you have shingles. What you WILL spread to them is chickenpox . . . but only if they haven't had it yet. Shingles is also less likely to recur than genital herpes, which typically breaks out between three and five times a year. You can potentially have shingles and then never get it again. For what it's worth, I had "genital" shingles as well, which was misdiagnosed as genital herpes, notwithstanding my protestations that my and my wife's lifestyle choices made genital herpes very unlikely. (I think the doctor just assumed I was lying about having been monogamous.)

Go to the doctor to ask what you should do; schedule an appointment. The human eye is a very delicate thing, and you shouldn't treat it with anything you're unsure about.

That is a natural part of the healing process but you are still contagious. Up utill the cold sore is completely gone you can still pas it on.

Don't touch the cold sore, if you have to wash your hands after touching it. Don't cover it with mke up, that will only aggravate the sore. Apply some cream like Abreva to the sore regulaly to help speed up the healing process.

there have been rare cases were the child didint inharet herpes from both blood parents.

but it is really possible that they didint get it due to your parents.

This disease, also known as oral herpes or fever blisters, can occur anywhere on the body.

YES - however, herpes is a virus and there is the herpes simplex virus which usually appears in cold sore form around your mouth and then there is genital herpes in which can be oral, genital, anal and then also may appear on other areas of the body during outbreaks. You can pass these on to others so always use protection and you should always make any partner aware that they may contract one of these if you have them.

It will help, but it will not prevent herpes from being transmitted.

With herpes any thing can happen because every one that contracts it is different. The Murphy's law of herpes lol.

Some people get future breakouts some don't. If you have a healthy immune system you may not get another break out or you may get one a few months or years later on.

Ciprofloxacin is not used to treat a fever blister.

Cold sores tend to only pass from person to person during an inflammation (when a cold sore is present). Still, even so, on occassion they will pass during dry periods. Take precausions when engaging in oral activities with someone who is prone to having cold sores.

NO herpes doesn't like to float around in fluids. It's spread through skin contact like kissing some one when they have a visible cold sore or during intercourse when your genitals rub together.

The herpes virus is not curable and will remain in the host for life. The occurrence of outbreaks will generally become less frequent over time, but one can still spread the virus. An individual outbreak will generally last between one to three weeks.
