Herpes Simplex I. Definition: Herpes simplex begins as a group of small red bumps that blister. Sometimes this is preceded by itching and burning of the area. The blisters begin to dry up after a few days and form a yellow crust. The crust then falls off and the redness slowly goes away. The whole process takes about 10-14 days. Scars rarely form. Some people experience just some itching or burning in the area while most people have no symptoms at all. II. Causes: There are two kinds of herpes virus, type 1 and type 2. Type 1 virus causes 60% of the cold sores so common on the lips and face. The other 40% of cases are caused by type 2. On the genitalia these percentages are reversed, that is 40% of genital herpes cases are caused by type 1 and 60% of cases are caused by type 2. Herpes simplex is transmitted by sexual contact, kissing, or other close contact. Family members should not share towels or linen with someone who has an outbreak of herpes on the genitalia or cold sores. Herpes can spread from person to person even when an infected individual has no outbreak or symptoms. Once you have herpes simplex type 1, you cannot be reinfected with the type 1 virus. You can however be infected with the type 2 virus.

Herpes Simplex (Cold Sores) WHAT IS HERPES SIMPLEX? Herpes simplex is a viral infection that attacks the skin and nervous system, and usually produces small, irritating and sometimes painful fluid-filled blisters on or around the mouth and nose. WHAT CAUSES IT? Herpes simplex is caused by a virus, herpes simplex 1 (HSV 1). After the initial outbreak, the virus usually lies dormant in the skin or in nerve tissue until something triggers another eruption. Often the trigger is unknown, but in some people overexposure to sunlight, fever, physical or emotional stress, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menstruation, or certain foods and drugs seem to reactivate the virus. WHAT ARE ITS COMMON SYMPTOMS? The first symptoms of a herpes simplex infection usually include burning, tingling or itching sensations around the edges of the lips or nose; this is referred to as a prodromal stage. Within a few hours, small-reddened areas develop followed by the formation of small blisters filled with fluid. Several small blisters may merge to form a larger one. As the blisters enlarge, they rupture and leak sticky serum-like fluid, which rapidly crusts. In uncomplicated cases, the herpes attack usually runs its course in three weeks or less, and seldom leaves a scar. Between cold sore eruptions, the herpes simplex 1 virus lies dormant, presumably in the skin or in nearby nerve tissue.

KidsHealth Kids Treating Cold Sores For most kids, the sores go away on their own without any special treatment from a doctor . Sometimes, if the cold sores are making a kid sick, a doctor may prescribe a special medicine that fights the HSV virus. Some kids may take acetaminophen or ibuprofen if their sores are painful. If you get a cold sore, try having something cold to drink or holding some ice wrapped in cloth on the sore. Popsicles are good, too - they keep the sore cool and your tongue happy! While you have a cold sore, skip citrus drinks like orange juice and lemonade, because they might irritate the sore. You'll also have to pass on your favorite pizza or pasta sauce, because tomato sauce is acidic and might make the sore hurt more. Finally, while you're waiting for the cold sore to go away, don't pick at it - you'll only get in the way of your body's natural healing process. Remember, if you take good care of your cold sores, they'll be easier to deal with.
