Cold sores are small, fluid-filled blisters that appear around the lips or on the face. They are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), most commonly HSV-1, though HSV-2 can also cause cold sores.
Cold sores are highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected person or by touching contaminated surfaces. They are often triggered by factors such as stress, illness, hormonal changes, or exposure to sunlight.
Cold sores typically begin with a tingling or itching sensation around the lips or mouth. This is followed by the appearance of small, painful blisters that eventually crust over and heal. Other symptoms may include swelling and discomfort in the affected area.
