Understanding cold sores
Cold sores are small painful blisters on or around the lips caused by the herpes simplex virus, which stays in the body and can flare again.
What can cause cold sores
Triggers for the virus include strong sunshine, being unwell, stress, fatigue or a cold, which makes holiday sun a frequent cause.
Typical symptoms
- Crusting after a few days
- Small fluid-filled blisters on or near the lips
- Mild fever or swollen glands in a first episode
- Tingling, itching or burning before blisters appear
