Cold Sores - you CAN prevent outbreaks...
from:Anyone who has ever had a cold sore knows that they can occur
for seemingly no-reason. The symptoms are often obvious enough
though.
With summer coming on, and lovely days of sunshine to look
forward to, how many of us are worrying about cold sores? A lot,
because anyone anyone who has had a cold sore knows that sunburn
or sun exposure is guaranteed to result in an outbreak...
The Herpes Simpex 1 virus (HSV1) is highly contagious and
usually affects the mouth in the form of cold sores. Once you
have the Herpes virus, it resides in your DNA for life. You
cannot get rid of it, but you can treat cold sores, and you can
prevent outbreaks.
So what triggers a Herpes (Cold Sores) outbreak?
- Illness or sickness
- High internal acid levels
- Menstruation
- Ultraviolet light (sunburn) - Intense physical activity
- Increased moisture and friction
What are the Symptoms of a Cold Sore outbreak?
- pain, itchiness, and a burning or tingling sensation before
outbreaks
- painful inflamed blisters develop around infected area
- headache
- muscle ache
- fever
Cold Sores Treatment Alternatives
There are many available treatments for cold sores, both over
the counter and prescription medications.
HOWEVER, Many topical creams and ointments do not penetrate the
cell membranes and may therefore aggravate the outbreak and
prolong healing. Experts strongly advise against the use any
kind of topical cortisone-type cream as this can suppress the
local immunity and may worsen your cold sores outbreaks
significantly. Many other herpes remedys contain alcohol,
lidocaine or benzocaine. While generally only partially
effective, these treatments can also further irritate the
infected area and can lead to allergic reactions.
