Herpes labialis (HSV1) is the scientific name for a cold sore which is characterized by a rash of blisters that appears on the lips. A cold sore looks like a relatively painful bouquet accompanied by a burning sensation. At first, it appears as a small tingling sensation, slightly red, after the rash, a liquid flows, then the small wound dries and a crust appears.

This is a common condition caused by a virus. Even if this virus is not dangerous in itself, as soon as you catch it, it is difficult to get rid of it because it returns frequently depending on certain circumstances: fatigue, sun, infection, the menstrual cycle, emotions... .

In addition, it is contagious, it is transmitted by direct contact: saliva, kisses, etc.

Generally, contamination takes place during childhood, the virus is present in the body without showing signs of the disease, it remains inactive. However, in some affected people, they will present more than one episode per year.

Although cold sores do not present any danger in most people, in some people the symptoms can be different: fever, sore throat, painful and swollen gums, muscle pain, etc.

In still others, complications can manifest themselves by touching the wound and spreading the infection elsewhere (to the eyes for example).

It is therefore imperative to wash your hands well and avoid touching the wound in order to limit the risk of secondary infections.
