Re: 14 Year Old Girl with Herpes
Did he actually graduate?????.. http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/com...-sores-patches Cold Sores Cold sores, which also are called fever blisters or herpes simplex, are groups of painful, fluid-filled blisters that erupt often around the lips and sometimes under the nose or around the chin. They usually are caused by herpes simplex virus type I and are very contagious (in other words, infectious). Once a person has a primary herpes infection, which usually occurs before adulthood, the virus stays in the body and may cause recurrent attacks, which are characterized by tiny blisters that appear on the edge of the lips or sometimes inside the mouth. Blisters sometimes appear after a fever, sunburn, skin abrasions or emotional upset. Cold sores usually heal in one to two weeks. Prescription and over-the-counter creams may provide relief. In more severe cases, antiviral drugs may be prescribed. .... Research..... NOT that difficult of a concept..... and makes you look a BIT less like an idiot. |
