Avatar m tn ) I have herpes (HSV-1) since I was a child. I experience cold sores whenever my immune system weakens for some reasons (poor diet, stress, etc). The thing always appears around my lips, sometimes inside my nose (once it appeared near my eye). Unfortunately, this tends to happen at least once in two months, and it really pisses me off (excuse my bluntness). I have tried all meds I could find, but none seem to be able to prevent it well.
Avatar f tn - Avoid physical contact with the cold sore area. Touching, rubbing, and scratching cold sores can not only increase bacterial infection but also unwittingly spread the virus to other areas of the face and possibly infect other persons. - Clean the cold sore with a washcloth, soap, and warm water. This will minimize itching as well as prevent the virus from spreading. - Avoid salty and acidic foods like lemon and potato chips as these will aggravate cold sores and become more painful.
Avatar f tn I have been suffering with cold sores for almost since I was a teenager I am 39 and still suffering with them I never brought this to my doctors attention, because I thought nothing can be done about it. I know the virus is living inside of me and everybody else who gets them, they hurt a lot yesterday morning when I woke up I already started with 3 of them on my upper lip. Do you break out with them when you are stressed? Yesterday my daughter had her 3rd hip surgery...

Avatar f tn m allergic to cold medicine, so I always use natural remedies. As soon as I feel a cold coming on, I double my Vitamin C. I also steam fresh mint leaves for congestion and make and my own vitamin water using mint leaves, fresh cut lemons and limes. I can usually kick a cold within 2-3 days using these remedies. Good luck and feel better!
Avatar f tn Has anyone tried any vitamins for anxiety or panic attacks? Such as Niacin, Valerian vitamin b3, b12 or anything? I was reading up on some things.
Avatar f tn The nurse who red me my results told me I tested positive for cold sores but not herpes? So does this mean I tested positive for hsv1 but not hsv2? The nurse didn't really seem to concerned and didn't provide any medication to help contain the virus or anything like that, so I'm concerned on how serious this is. I haven't been sexually active for about a month and the last unprotected exposer I had was the 26th of April and have been worried about contracting herpes ever since.
Avatar f tn ) or any of those types constipate me. I was hoping for a natural suggestion to talk with my doctor about. They are not very informed with natural treatments of things and said they would talk with another doctor and let me know what they want to try next. I figured since I am on here I might as well ask if you know of natural treatments for FM so that I have a list in case they don't!
Avatar f tn Herpes simplex type I blisters or Cold sores or fever blisters are one and the same thing. Unlike canker sores, cold sores are caused by a virus and are extremely contagious. Also, cold sores typically appear outside the mouth – usually, under the nose, around the lips, or under the chin while canker sores occur inside the mouth. Pain from a canker sore generally lessens in a few days and the sores usually heal without treatment in about a week or two.
Avatar n tn i get cold sores in the winter time but i dont have herpes or any thing like that.i have been getting them since i was young. if i dont have that why do i get them. and how do i make it go away.
Avatar f tn If they look like cold sores, get to the doctor to be examined and tested. Cold sores are caused by a different strain of the same virus that causes herpes. A herpes diagnosis is not the end of the world, and it would be better to know than risk spreading it to future partners because you never tested and don't know how to look out for a flare-up.
Avatar f tn Hi, This could be a cold sore or a pimple. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and they're contagious. Signs and symptoms of cold sores include: -Small, painful, fluid-filled blisters on a raised, red, painful area of your skin -Pain or tingling, called the prodrome, often precedes the blisters by one to two days -Usual duration of seven to 10 days Cold sores usually appear on your lips. Occasionally, they occur on your nostrils, chin or fingers.
Avatar f tn It can be found in the health pages in the upper right hand corner of the screen. It lists a bunch of vitamins and supplements to aid with withdrawal. For energy L-Tyrosine along with B vitamins for absorption can help. I would also throw in some protein shakes in the mix. Best of luck.
Avatar f tn 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.

4541337 tn?1364850200 Since I have been pregnant I have been getting cold sores like crazy. Is anyone else having this problem? What do I do?
Avatar f tn So I have oral herpes. But I ever get cold sores, and I'm talking to this girl I like, and the other day when we went on a date I noticed she had a cold sore on her bottom lips that have lasted for a little over a week. It doesn't bother me too much cause I know she has the same virus I have,but it kind of makes me nervous to kiss her, I'm wondering if I kiss her while she has a real cold sore on her lip, then will I start getting cold sores?
Avatar f tn ve been seeing each other for about 2 months and long story short have now found out my gf does have the occasional cold sore OB. Needless to say, I'm a bit worried about what that means for me. I havent seen anything or felt anything. Shes not on antivirals and claims this has never been an issue I'm the past and that none of her partners have suffered from this either. Do I have any real reason to be worried. Internet has me a bit confused.
Avatar f tn I'm 17 weeks pregnant and Yesterday I broke out in cold sores. I haven't gotten any in over a year and usually it's just one tiny one. This time its three big ones and my lips look like I went through horrible botox!! And for the first time it kinda burns. I'm already using a topical cream from rite aid, however I'm a waitress and looking this unsightly is no bueno for business. Any remedies on making these horrible little buggers go away asap??
Avatar m tn if she also gets cold sores then her risk is much smaller but still should she notice anything in the genital area, she should be seen.
Avatar n tn Um absolutely a no no I wouldn't kiss my baby anywhere with a cold sore try using abreva for it it's over the counter I used to work in a obgyn office and the docs used to tell pts to buy over the counter first b4 they prescribed a rx. Good luck and congrats.
