m in good health, eat right, and exercise daily. First cold sore was back in 1986 after I got a severe sunburn on lips. Would obviously prefer not to have the virus but it's really not been a big deal. However, I've had a lot of fatigue over the last 30+ years and was wondering if the immune overload keeping the virus at bay might have been dragging me down all this time.
Can you infect an open cut on your lip with the cold sore virus if you haven't brushed your teeth since an old cold sore from saliva?
Hi,
About 2 months ago I noticed a part of my upper lip was tingly, I suspected it was a cold sore to used zovirax on it. The next day no cold sore appeared but that area looked red and irritated and was a bit dry. I continued using carmex lip balm to calm it down but it didn't do anything, it remained dry and chapped and felt tight. It has progressively got worse, its not as red anymore but my lips (both upper and lower) now feel tight and dry.
Recently, there was a cut directly in the middle of my bottom lip from a cold sore. It started healing and I picked at it and peeled off some skin. Now there is a fairly medium sized light pink spot around the area of the cut. When I smile, it stands out since my lips a darker than the light spot. The spot is firmer and more rough than the rest of my lip. I think it is a scar, is it? Any way to get rid of it? If it isn't a scar, how long will it take to go away?
But does that mean that I will end up spreading it to my partner? I haven't had a cold sore since. And I've never seen that he had a cold sore before... So should I really stress spreading it to him; I rarely ever get cold sores.... He's never gotten one, even though we've been together for a long time. In the future will this affect my sex life in any way?
So I developed a cold sore last night and I touched my lips not knowing what the small bump was and went to pick up my baby girl who's 5 months old and didn't wash my hands I also put her back in the crib and gave her a kiss on her head and cheek now I'm freaking out that I could have gave it to her. What should I do? The doctors office is closed today I'm really stressing out over here.
I have fluid-filled blisters all over my upper lip. They are on the lip it self as well as the edge, covering my whole upper lip. They aren't inside. They aren't cold sores (I've had cold sores and these aren't it). They are not itchy or painful. They didn't go through the cold sore stages. If I pop the blisters, my lips taste sour and the blisters form again.
And just to let you know that I was virgin that time, the last two times I went there the same girl performed unprotected sex on me two times, kissing mouth to mouth and body to body massage, and this is was on October 2012, in the end of November I had a single cold sore in my right lips, I read in the internet and I read that this cold sore is caused by HSV1, after I had that cold sore I went to the clinic and had HSV test, and that test was on the 1st of December, the result was Positive for
Last week I visited a 6 star brothel, had protected oral and protected vaginal sex, not worried at all as it was protected, a week later I have a cold sore on my lip, wondering if the sex worker had a cold sore at the time as we engaged in mouth kissing and she licked and sucked my testes, couldn't see any sores on her lips but is it possible she passed on a HIV virus through kissing, or genital herpes through licking and sucking ? Doubt she was positive, just peace of mind thanks !
Hello, pardon my ignorance about how the virus works, but I have a question about an incident that happened today. A friend of mine has had a cold sore going on 2 weeks now, it's not as visible and drying now...today, we were talking and she put on Vaseline on her lips, after about 3 minutes when we finished talking she playfully smushes my face around my mouth with the hand she applied the Vaseline on her lips with. Is there any reason to worry about this? I appreciate all of the feedback.
The cold sore of herpes type 1 virus is typical in a sense that it is multiple, vesicular(Blisters) with a prodromal pain.You do not have these features.
Recurrences are the typical feature.
Quit worrying because many get the type 1 in childhood and might remain without clinical manifestations.
Do consult your doc should the chelitis disturb you.

This came up around my mouth a few days ago. Today I bought cream for it (5% w/w). I just want to confirm this is a cold sore? Anything else I should be doing about it? This is the 2nd or 3rd time i've had a little bump in the same spot near my lips, am I going to have this reoccur for the rest of my life? I should add that this time I tried squeezing it because I hoped it was a zit.
Recently my lips have been burning. I kissed a girl many times including a french kiss (saliva) about 24 days ago. I asked her if she's ever had cold sores and she stated yes. She said her last cold sore was approximately 5 years ago. When I kissed her there were no sores present. What's the chances of getting HSV1 cold sores infection from someone who doesn't have any sores present on there lips?

Unfortunately a cold sore is a manifestation of the herpes virus. It is herpes simplex 2. You will never cure it, but you can get rid of it for a while. You can buy over the counter meds, or go see your Dr.
It is very important to never kiss your baby while you have a cold sore or a month after it has gone. Baby's immune system is nowhere near mature enough to fight the virus and they can end up seriously ill in the hospital.
Both you and your boyfriend need to be careful and avoid contact when you have cold sores or generally feel issues with your lips that often lead to cold sores, such as dryness, sunburn etc.
Oral sex is not an efficient mechanism for transmitting HSV, but when virus is present in the forms of sores the risk is present.
I'm sure you've had a good shower off, but there is really nothing that can be done.
If you experience very frequent bouts, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication as a cold sore treatment or to prevent cold sores.
It may help if you avoid conditions that stress your body, such as getting a cold or not getting enough sleep or staying in the sun for long periods of time without applying sunblock. It is important to apply sunblock to your lips and face before prolonged exposure to the sun to help prevent cold sores.
Take care and regards.
