A cold sore (or fever blister) is an infection usually on the lip area of your mouth. It’s caused by the herpes simplex I virus. There is no cure for cold sores. They typically last 7-12 days.
Some people who carry the HSV-1 virus experience no symptoms at all. For those who do, mild to severe symptoms appear around the lips or mouth area.
You may experience cold sore symptoms that include:
• Itching, burning, tingling, a blister or cluster of blisters, and/or a rash
• Before a blister appears some people even experience a sore throat, fever, swollen glands, or painful swallowing.
Carmex® Multi-Symptom Cold Sore Treatment contains a formula that temporarily relieves pain and itch on the surface of the fever blister.
The virus that causes cold sores is contagious and spreads easily. Once you get the virus, you’ll always have it. Triggers that cause cold sore outbreaks include:
• Having your period
• Exposure to sun
• Having a fever
• Getting sick
• Being stressed out
• Having surgery
