Herpes na usni
Cold sores, also called fever blisters, are a common viral infection. They are tiny, fluid-filled blisters on and around your lips. These blisters are often grouped together in patches. After the blisters break, a scab forms that can last several days. Cold sores usually heal in two to three weeks without leaving a scar.
Cold sores spread from person to person by close contact, such as kissing. They're usually caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
A cold sore usually passes through several stages:
Tingling and itching,
Blisters,
Oozing and crusting.
In a first-time outbreak, you also might experience:
fever, painful gums, sore throat, headache , muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes.
Cold sores are most contagious when you have oozing blisters because the virus easily spreads through contact with infected body fluids. But you can spread the virus even if you don't have blisters.
PREVENTION
To help avoid spreading cold sores to other people or to other parts of your body, you might try some of the following precautions:
Avoid kissing and skin contact with people while blisters are present - The virus spreads most easily when the blisters leak fluid.
Avoid sharing items - Utensils, towels, lip balm and other personal items can spread the virus when blisters are present.
Keep your hands clean - When you have a cold sore, wash your hands carefully before touching yourself and other people, especially babies.
