Oral herpes

Oral herpes, also called cold sores or "cold sore" is an infectious disease commonplace, but recurrent and contagious.

Herpes simplex  is a viral disease caused by both herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). Infection with the herpes virus is categorized into one of various distinct disorders based on the site of infection. Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores, infects the face and mouth. Oral herpes is the most familiar form of infection.

Fever, stress, anxiety, fatigue, dust, extreme temperatures (hot or cold), the prolonged sun exposure, flu, menstruation, allergies and some food are factors that promote herpes outbreaks. Oral herpes is spread when a person kisses a person who has a "cold sore" or share his tools or his towel.

Usually, signs of an attack of herpes is to recognize the sensation of burning or tingling all-around the mouth. It occurs mostly by the appearance of lesions surrounding the mouth, commonly} named "cold sores" or "cold sores". These lesions may also appear on the gums all-around the nose and the palate of the mouth and lead to an infection named thrush. These manifestations of herpes, however, are rarer.

Overall the contagion is facilitated if the infected person shows symptoms (oral or genital lesions). On the other hand, it is essential to be always vigilant and implement these preventive measures even when there are no effects.


Virtually 90% of persons are victimized at least once in their standard of living to a crisis of oral herpes. After the first infection, most people develop antibodies that prevent the virus from appearing again. About 40% of individuals have symptoms, on the other hand, repeated oral herpes.
