The cold sore is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. It is a latent virus that comes out during times of stress or immune system compromisation. OVer 80% of the US population has the virus.
The best treatment is an over the counter medication, if sever, then see your doctor about it and get a prescription. Do NOT pick, poke or pinch the cold sore, this will only make it hurt worse or possibly spread it. ALWAYS wash your hands after touching it. While the sore is present and visible, avoid kissing and giving oral sex, this will cause the virus to be transmitted to teh other person.
Hope this helps/

I got identified with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 years ago, whilst I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I realize a lot of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/IWhRf everything got better.
Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the hsv from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me back the chance to be happy and experience true love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.
