Cold Sores, (Herpes Simplex Virus)

cold sores herpes simplexCold sores are, painful, fluid-filled blisters or small sores that appear on the lips, mouth and nose ,and are caused by the Herpes Simplex virus (HSV). The sores usually last a few days. The cold sores virus, ( Herpes Simplex ), is not completely eliminated by the body defences and because of this, cold sores often recur.

There are two types of Herpes Simplex virus, type I and type II. Cold sores are usually caused by type I. Herpes simplex infections are extremely contagious. The cold sores virus is spread from person to person close contact with sores or even from contact with apparently normal skin that is shedding the virus, eg kissing and infected saliva . People are most contagious when active blister-like cold sores are present. Once the blisters have dried and crusted over the risk of cold sores infection is significantly decreased. However, a person infected with cold sores can pass it on to another person even when a cold sores blister is not present. Regardless of popular myth, it is almost impossible to catch cold sores from contaminated surfaces, towels, or facecloths. The cold sores virus ( herpes simplex ), is extremely fragile outside its normal environment.

Following the initial first infection, the cold sores virus enters and travels up the nerves until it comes to the nerve ganglion where it lays dormant. If triggered the cold sores virus can start multiplying again and travel down the nerve to the skin, causing new cold sores. The exact way this happens is not clear, but it is known that some conditions seem to trigger cold sores, these include;

* stress
* fever, colds, or the flu
* ultraviolet radiation (sunlight),
* skin trauma
* changed or compromised immune system,
* hormonal changes, such as menstruation
Sometimes no obvious cause of the cold sores recurrence is found and the frequency of attack can vary.

Cold Sores Symptoms

Some people have symptoms occur before the actual sores appear, typically involving a burning or tingling sensation that precedes the appearance of blisters. As the cold sores form, the area becomes inflamed and develops small fluid-filled blisters. These small blisters may combine and form one large blister. The blisters dry up rapidly and leave scabs that last anywhere from a day to several days, depending on the severity of the infection. People with cold sores should wash their hands often, especially after touching the cold sores and surrounding areas. Cups and eating utensils should not be shared with another person.
The Herpes virus can be spread from cold sores to another area of the body, this is called "autoinoculation." For example, touching cold sores on the lip and then touching the eye can cause herpes of the eye (Ocular Herpes).If not treated quickly, ocular herpes can lead to blindness and severe damage. Autoinoculation occurs commonly at the time of primary infection when viral shedding is high and the immune system antibodies are not at full strength.
