Cold sores (also known as fever blisters) are a type of painful oral herpes. They manifest as clusters of tiny blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The surrounding skin is usually red, puffed, and sore. The blisters may break open, release a clear liquid, and then scab over after several days. They usually heal in about two weeks, but symptoms can linger for longer.

How to get rid of cold sores?

There are a number of cold sore therapy choices available. Antiviral lotions and lip balms can help with symptoms, as can homeopathic medicines in some situations. A doctor may prescribe medication under certain circumstances. Boosting your immune system may also aid you in defeating the cold sore virus. Take particular care when applying topical cold sore ointment around sensitive areas.

What causes cold sores?

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both viruses can induce blisters around the mouth (herpes labialis) and genitals (genital herpes). The herpes simplex virus enters the body commonly through a cut in the skin around or inside the mouth. When a person touches a cold sore or infected fluid—such as when sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected individual, or contact with that person's saliva—the virus can be spread. Cold sores may also spread and affect other parts of the body.

How long do cold sores last?

Cold sores heal at different speeds among different people. Cold sores typically clear up within a few days to two weeks without any treatment. If your cold sore isn't healing or recurring, see a doctor immediately. You might require prescription medicine. Trying to heal a cold sore faster by popping it may backfire, causing your symptoms to worsen and increasing your chance of infection or long-term scarring.

What does a cold sore look like?

Cold sores are clusters of blisters. The distinction between a pimple and a cold sore is easily made through appearance. Cold sores are painful, red blisters that appear on or near the mouth, chin, and (less frequently) eyes. The blisters eventually burst, leaking fluid. Cold sores usually appear in the vicinity of your mouth, just above the lip on the chin, or along your lips and nose. They can also develop directly on your lip.

Cold Sore Treatment, Causes & Symptoms

What are Cold Sores

Cold sores (sometimes called fever blisters), are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in about two weeks, but symptoms can sometimes persist longer.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes).

The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person’s saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

The Symptoms of Cold Sores

The first symptoms of cold sores may include pain around your mouth and on your lips, a fever, a sore throat, or swollen glands in your neck or other parts of the body. Small children sometimes drool before cold sores appear. For some people, cold sores can be very painful.

Treatment for Cold Sores

There are several treatment options available to soothe the symptoms of cold sores. Antiviral creams and lip balm can help, as may homeopathic remedies. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe medicine. Boosting your immune system can often help you fight off the virus causing the cold sore. When applying a topical cold sore ointment around the lip area, take special care to not get it in your mouth.
