What are fever sores?!


Question: What are fever sores.?
I have very tiny blister .5cm away from my bottom lip. They aren't directly on my lips. I got them about 12 hours ago. How long does it take the blisters to show after being infected.?
can you get it by using someone's chapstick (who didnt have any apparent sores on the mouth).? and by kissing someone who also didnt have any apparent sores.? Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It is caused by Herpes Simplex I virus (not the same kind of herpes seen on genitals) usually is not spread when the virus is not present but anything is possible. Its very common will be with you periodically for life :( There are creams that are supposed to help clear it up faster Health Question & Answer

What you have is a fever blister. If you put and ice cube on it right a way and hold it on there for about 10 minutes, then the ice will freeze the infection and stop it from growing. And yes, sharing Chapstick is not too smart.Health Question & Answer
