Cold Sores spreading to other parts other than your mouth?

Question

I kinda have a weird situation. My husband has a cold sore right now on his lip, I have never had cold sores at all in my life either! But anyways... I woke up this morning with a red rash looking thing on the areas that he kissed that night. It started off on my neck area ( a bunch of red bumps ) then like a couple hours later my chin and lips broke out... Its like where ever he touched I have this awful looking rash thing. I have two blisters on my lip that hurt, and I know these arnt pimples at all. Does this sound like it can happen? This can spread to other parts of the body... its just weird its in the spots that he kissed, and no where else? Please help me out here.

Hi JW

Here is the answer you need, plus some remedies to correct the issue.


Cold sores are very contagious, and can be spread from the mouth to the genitalia via oral sex.

Cause
Herpes simplex virus is the cause of herpes. HSV causes cold sores on the lips and in the mouth and genital herpes in, on or around the genital area. Although once you contract the herpes virus you have it for life, you can stop outbreaks. They can be controlled and in some cases eliminated.

Nearly all people experience cold sores at least one time during their lives. After the first attack, the virus remains dormant in nerve cells, and can be reactivated later by stress, colds, hot weather, anxiety, nutrient deficiencies, or other illnesses, especially ones with accompanying fever. Prolonged cold sore outbreaks may occur in people suffering from compromised immune function or in healthy people who are under high levels of stress.

Herpes zoster, Coxsackie virus, low thyroid, and health problems that suppress immune function can all contribute to cold sore outbreaks, and must be addressed before long-term relief can be achieved.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Geranium, lemon, chamomile, tea tree, and/or lavender essential oils applied topically can help speed the healing process.

Diet: Eat a whole foods diet. Eat lots of fresh green salads, raw and steamed vegetables, cultured, fermented products such as yogurt and sauerkraut. Refrain from dairy products, sugar, white flour and other processed foods. Avoid citrus fruits, including pineapple. Buy organic whenever possible and please eat only organic animal protein.

Drink at least 1/2 your weight in ounces of pure water daily with either stabilized liquid oxygen added or water dispensed from an oxygen water cooler.

Flower Essences: The most useful flower essences for dealing with the accompanying emotional/mental stress of cold sores are Rescue Remedy®, Rescue Remedy Cream®, and Crab Apple.

Herbs: Herbs that boost resistance to cold sores by strengthening the immune response include the tinctures of Echinacea, Siberian ginseng, nettle, and goldenseal. Combine in equal parts and take 1/2 teaspoonful of this mixture three times a day. You can also externally apply diluted tincture of myrrh or calendula. Licorice root tincture applied topically has been shown to inactivate herpes simplex particles and inhibit the growth of the virus.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. We suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. The section Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.

Lifestyle: Manage stress and generally stay rested.

Nutritional Supplementation: There are many alternative cures for herpes breakouts. Choose from the following options. During times of outbreak L-lysine cream applied directly on the blisters, and L-lysine supplements (4 grams daily for the first four days, then 500 mg three times daily for two weeks) can also be taken orally. Or try Lysine in a fast acting tincture formula. Please note: Do not take L-Lysine on a daily maintenance basis, however, as it may create an imbalance among other amino acids. If continual daily lysine is the only way for you to prevent recurrent attacks, then you must make diet changes. First eliminate all wheat products, replace with other whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat (not a member of the wheat family) in your diet and decrease lysine into smaller dosages, use with a full spectrum amino acid blend. Also, ask your alternative health care practitioner about amino-acid profile testing.) Other useful nutrients to help prevent and treat cold sores are vitamin B complex, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, vitamin E, and zinc gluconate. Acidophilus and thymus extract can also help, as can the flavonoid quercetin, which has been shown to inhibit the herpes virus.

Note: The two amino acids that appear to be important in herpes infections are lysine and arginine. Arginine stimulates the growth and reproduction of the herpes simplex virus, while lysine inhibits it. What`s important is the ratio of arginine to lysine. The higher the arginine to lysine ratio, the more herpes virus is likely to grow. Conversely, if lysine is high with respect to arginine, the growth is inhibited. Chocolate, peanuts, most cereal grains, nuts, and seeds have more arginine than lysine.

Topical Treatment: Apply vitamin E ointment or saturate gauze with vitamin E oil and apply for 15 minutes over the area of outbreak.

BHT, a natural food preservative, added to an alcohol solution is another effective topical solution.



Fast Acting Herpes Protocol

This is the natural cure for herpes that Kevin talks about in the book. This protocol works best PRIOR to a herpes breakout, though you can get fast acting results once a breakout is underway by substituting food grade Hydrogen Peroxide for DMSO:

Purchase the following supplies, available at most health food stores or online sources:

DMSO*
Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide
Laurea Herb
Red Marine Algae
Lysine
Calcium
Stabilized Liquid Oxygen

Apply a thin layer of DMSO to the afflicted area, the soles of your feet, and your low back three times per day. Do this when you first feel a breakout may be underway, before an eruption occurs. If you are already broken out, use Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide instead of DMSO. Apply peroxide by dabbing area with a clean cotton swab.

Take Laurea, Red Marine Algae, Lysine and Calcium according to directions on label, twice per day. Look for Lysine in a fast acting tincture formula. These products can be found at a well stocked health food store.

Drink at least half your weight in ounces of pure water daily with either stabilized liquid oxygen added or water dispensed from an oxygen water cooler.

Eat generous amounts of fresh green salads, and raw and steamed vegetables. Refrain from dairy products, sugar, white flour and other processed foods. Buy organic whenever possible, especially when choosing animal protein.

Caution: When applying DMSO on the body use thoroughly clean hands and clean cotton swabs. Take care to be impeccable because whatever substance comes in contact with DMSO gel is absorbed quickly and driven deeply into the body. Avoid contact with dirt until the area is completely dry.

Best of health to both of you.

Cheers

Cold Sores also known as fever blisters are a form of Herpes simplex viral infections. If he has them as a recurring thing. I think you should both go to your doctor and have it checked out. It is possible that he could have spread it to you.
It usually only happens when the sores are open or seeping. I have not seen a case where they spread to area's other than the mouth and genitals. But it is possible.
You can check out information about Cold Sores at either.
www.medscape.com
or
www.webmd.com
I prefer Medscape as it is easier to navigation. And the information is written so that people who are not in the medical field can under stand it.
But I really would suggest you both see a doctor. A simple test will tell you what it is.
Good Luck.

Cold sores are caused by a Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2) and can be spread to the gential/anal area or mouth area. Neck and other places, though, I'd say no--though I'm not 100%. I AM, however, 100% sure that cold sores are caused by HSV. Some family doctors still hold the belief that cold sores on the mouth are only caused by HSV type-1, and genital herpes is HSV type-2, but my gynecologist has told me they are now interchangable. I tested positive for HSV while still a virgin (though I had never before, and haven't since, had an outbreak of cold sores on my mouth nor a genital herpes outbreak) and my gyno says it's most likely been passed to me from my mother, who gets cold sores every year around Christmas, at birth or shortly after (funny, I was born on Christmas Day). You should DEFINITELY see your doctor about the blisters on your lips, just to be safe. Until then (and I know this sounds horrible) don't kiss your kids...and don't engage in oral sex with your husband. I was ostracized by my mother because she believed I'd had sexual partners at 15 years old when the results of blood test from my family doctor's office were HSV positive...WHEN I KNEW without a doubt that I had never had sex before. It was a hard time for me so don't cold-shoulder your husband. Imagine my mother's face when my Gynecologist told my mother I had probably gotten it from HER.

I got diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about five yrs ago, when I was still attending college and had a silly one-night stand. I know lots of young ladies will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/35UD7 everything improved.

Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the whole World.

But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/treatmentHerpes2015pSZd

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams.

Answer 9

It doesn't sound like cold sores at all. It sounds like it is something more like poison oak. I've heard of getting cold sores on or around your nose, but your neck? I don't think so.
