Common Questions and Answers about Lip sores in children

lip

Avatar f tn This sounds way more like trauma to the lip. sometimes they can be a booger to heal because they can be in an area where they are constantly stimulated by licking, sippy cups, thumb sucking etc. You know how we adults are even - we can't leave it alone!!! You won't get hsv1 from the pool - you'd get it from mommy or daddy kissing your boo boo to make it better to be completely honest.
Avatar f tn Hi, zero risk for HIV and with her not having any active lip chancre sores and you not have any open lip sores for the germs to enter, that would also be zero risk for syphilis. Only herpes might be an issue but again with no lip sores its close to zero risk as shedding doesnot occur that often.
Avatar n tn Hi, the risk for contracting oral herpes from sharing things is mostly from young children whose immune systems are not yest strong but for adults really needs direct contact to be at risk esp when a lip sore is visible at the time. In theory its possible but in probability its not.
Avatar f tn Aside from mild intermittent itching sensations on just about every part of my body (starting over a month ago) I have also had a mild sore throat and several sores appeared on my lower lip (this began 5 days ago). Other than the itching it seems almost completely healed and the dermatologist I saw thought it resembled the Coxsackie virus. I have also had some odd sensations on my genitals preceding this. Does this sound typical of that virus?
1358632 tn?1280349598 t, itch, or burn, or is painful, it just has a whitehead looking thing in the middle of a red bump on my lip. Would I 100% know, if I got a cold sore, are they usually Obviously different from a pimple on the lip? Please answer thoroughly as I am very distraught about this!
Avatar f tn Thank you, one more question is the virus in your saliva too and not only on your lip and when are you actually contagious...are you contagious before the tingle or is that the start of it being contagious. I'm pregnant and due in a couple weeks and now I'm nevous about it spreading.
Avatar n tn the only sign i think ive displayed are lip sores occasionally when im in the sun too long and only once a yr. any other info helpful w/ the kids would be great. as you can see we are a little worried for the kids sake. is there any real cure to rid us of herpes? and what is the difference and severity between type 1&2?
745313 tn?1323142298 s been getting a line of sore spots along his top lip. Not blistery sores like canker sores or fever blisters, just very small, VERY angry red spots that are very sore. Is this something anyone else has dealt with? And if so, HOW did you deal with it?
Avatar m tn ok i have had large white sores on the inside of my bottom lip and also on the bottom of my tounge on both sides. the ones on the bottom of my tounge are long and extend the length of my tounge from bottom to top and look puss filled... these hurt very badly and i havnt been able to eat much in the last 2 weeks... what could it be? how can i treat it?
Avatar n tn As far as your issue, it does not appear your having an outbreak as those with herpes lip sores are fairly recognizable, and im sure youve seen some one with it at one time. Its a blister that scabs over. You might want to call your friend and ask if they had a cold sore last week.
Avatar m tn I continiously get lip sores on my bottom lip only. I have been getting them for years and have been prescribed many diffrent courses of creams tablets etc. There has never been one any better thanthe other and when the blisterring is at its most venemous the need to pick is almost un-bearable. I keep away from lip balm etc as I find them to only feed the bug opposed to helping.
Avatar f tn actually small children can transmit the virus in this manner. their immune systems aren't mature so they are much more easily infected with oral herpes than adults are. in this situation though, your son's cold sore is almost healed and is crusted so it's very unlikely that it'll result in hsv1 infection for his playmate. honestly I wouldn't worry about it it's that low of a risk.
1124191 tn?1261406727 Is it on the bottom lip on the outside or the bottom lip on the inside? How large is large in size?
Avatar n tn He will also get blisters in his lip. Lately, a spot on his upper lip has been breaking out more. It rately broke out before. 2-3 times a month is just heart wrenching. He is little now and free from others' looks but he is growing up and I fear for his social development. Can a young child be on suppressive therapy?
Avatar f tn Cold sores are harmless in pregnancy. Just after the baby is born be careful to kiss your newborn when you have another outbreak, as it can be fatal due to their llittle immune systems. Don't worry, most creams are fine.
Avatar m tn s possible to transfer the virus from lip to genitals and I have been having some tingling and pain in my genitals. But no genital bumps or sores or even redness. So I think I must be imagining it, but the symptoms feel real.
Avatar n tn i have noticed small like blisters on the opening of my vagina and left inside lip
Avatar f tn for the past 5 months on and off i have suffered from dry sores on the corners of my mouth after a while using cold sore lip cream it goes but then soon returns, its not contagious and not very painful but itchy and easy spreads and splits when i yawn !
Avatar m tn Couple days now I develpoed 2 canker sores on the inside of my bottom lip. they are 2 canker sores connected to each other side by side. And also I have one small canker sore right under one of my bottom front tooth. On the hard surface of my gums. What does this mean? I am freaking out. Is it anything I should worry about? Or just canker sores. I have been getting canker sores on and off, but I dont think ever one on my gums.
Avatar f tn Hi. I've recently been diagnosed with genital herpes. Though disheartening, this didn't come as a shock to me because my fiancé has had it since before we met. We've been together for two years and have taken all precautionary measures to avoid transmission. I guess the odds finally beat us. I started taking Valtrex six days ago. Two days ago I felt my mouth tingling and my lips started to twitch. I found that the sores were in my mouth as well.
Avatar m tn about two months ago i woke up one morning with a swollen lip and a blister on my bottom lip, nothing like this has ever happened before. i did not experience any pain, burning, etc which i know are typically symptoms of cold sores. but my lips were unbelievably dry throughout. on about the 4th or 5th day it already settled and was almost gone, just the scab was there and some redness. but as that one was healing another blister appeared next to it. same process with the second one.
Avatar f tn HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral-to-oral contact to cause oral herpes infection, via contact with the HSV-1 virus in sores, saliva, and surfaces in or around the mouth. However, HSV-1 can also be transmitted to the genital area through oral-genital contact to cause genital herpes." https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319524.php "Medical News Today" The HSV1 virus is typically transmitted through kissing or sharing drinks and utensils.
