Cold Sores

چکیده
Cold sores are caused by a herpes virus, most often the herpes simplex 1 virus. Cold sores should not be confused with canker sores, which are small ulcerations in the mouth. Rather, cold sores are fluid-filled blisters that form on the gums and the outside of the mouth and lips. The blisters, which are contagious, later break, ooze, and crust over before healing. Recurrences are common and can be triggered by stress, sun exposure, illness, and menstruation. If the infection is transmitted to the eyes, it can lead to blindness. Genital herpes infection (usually caused by herpes simplex 2) is a related condition and potentially can be treated in much the same way as herpes simplex 1.
