who had a cold sore on their lips and what treatment?

i have a cold sore on my lips just pop up today,
i think because i don't drink enough water, so drink alot of water is the treatment i think.

Can cold sore be transfered to another person if kissing ?
 
No, I don't have herpes.

Try Herpecin-L

And yes, you can transfer it through kissing, if the other person has an open sore. I think.
 
cold sore is NOT herpes.
it will go away in afew days coz i had before and gone .
 
Yeah, it's Herpes simplex.

The virus lives in nerve cells around the lips (and/or penis) forever. Normally, your immune system keeps it in check, so nothing is visible. Every so often, however, the virus will try to break out. Usually, this happens when your immune system is busy fighting off some other infection, like a cold. Hence the term "cold sore."

You are highly infectious when you are broken out. You could pass it on to someone else (lips or penis) if your herpes sore touches someone else's skin. You are not infectious when you cannot see a skin outbreak.
 
I've always been curious about Herpes, since sex ed in grade 5 madeit so confusing.

If a person has the Herpes Simples 1 virus (the lips one), and then give someone a blowjob, does that give the other person Herpes 1 around their mouth or around their dick, or does it become herpes 2 when it's brought down there?
 
Generally HSV I is the above the waist one, while HSV II is below. But from what I understand boths varieties can infect both places. I'm sure one of our docs here can correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW, other virus in the herpes family include Varicella-Zoster which causes chicken pox, and Exptein-Barr, which causes infectious mono.

It is possible to transfer (read: infect) someone with simplex 1 (lips) "down there" if contact is made. The contact need not be direct (i.e. lips to dick) it can be indirect (i.e. hand to lip, then hand to dick). So, if you, or your partner has a cold sore do not touch it. Wash your hands frequently. Or just wait it out and really reduce the risk.

To cold sore sufferers: I've read that certain foods can provide a more hospitable environment for the virus, thus potentially increasing the:
a) frequency
b) duration
c) severity
of a cold sore out break.
Fortunately these foods are limited (i.e. nuts for one) so don't stop eating food.

There are also some foods, supplements that provide an inhospitable environment for the virus, thus potentially reducing the above factors. One food is broccoli; unfortunately the enzyme in question is found in very little quantity, so I'm not even sure if it is effective. L-lysne (an amino acid) is supposedly another one.

The research on foods contribution to cold sore outbreaks is scant and sketchy at best... so it is just something to think about.

Now that you have the virus, you will likely have further outbreaks.
Learn your triggers and do your best to keep the virus under wraps.

Other potential triggers are:
-stress
-lack of proper sleep
-physical "damage" to the area (this could be as unassuming as making out with someone who has stubble, or as major as an unrelated injury to the area)
-poor diet (and by that I mean lack of a balanced diet, not the specifics mentioned above)
-excessive sun exposure

Sorry, but cold sores are a persistent infection that never really leaves your system. So it may flare up from time to time, but other than being a minor annoyance, it's not a big deal.

Cold sores can be spread by kissing, too. It's not just an old wives' tale.

Herpes simplex is commonly referred to as cold sores or fever blisters.

Speaking from experience, I too suffer from Herpes Simplex (on the lips) and have all my life and really had difficulty controlling the out-breaks...

My Doc prescribed a drug for me that helps to control the outbreaks and I've NOT had any for years; but it means taking this drug every day.
The drug is Acyclovir, and it works, for me, very well indeed.


Here is a very good website that will give you some info you can use: http://www.eurodrugspharmacy.com/herpessimplex.htm
There's another very good prescription drug that's like-wise effective, but I will have to look that one up for you...

PS: The other two drugs that help suppress Herpes are Valtrex and Famvir.

I've been told that MOST of the world population DOES have some form of the Herpes Simplex virus.......which is amazing!

Good luck!(*8*)(*8*):kiss::kiss:
 
yep, thanks PSCGuy,

i think i got cold sore and i will never want to spread to anyone. i will wait until it goes away.
 
That all said, why is it that when I first started getting cold sores, I would get them every 3 to 5 weeks? Then less often, then even less often. Now I get a cold sore maybe once every year or two.

Do they tend to occur less often as one ages?

If they do, it's maybe because stress in our lives lessens as we age.

I also want to second the vote for Abreva. Apply it early and "no worries".

I must have HSVI, as I occasionally have cold sores, and once had shingles (which I'd trade any day for continual cold sores!). Maybe all this is because I had chicken pox as a child.
