What Cause Cold Sores?
from:Cold sores are caused by a virus, the herpes simplex virus or
HSV. There are two kinds of herpes simplex virus, called type 1
and type 2. While both types can cause cold sores, type 1 is the
variety usually responsible. Type 2 HSV is found in genital
herpes and is much more rare than type 1 HSV.
HSV-1 is the most common cause of cold sores. Most people are
exposed to HSV-1 between the ages of three to five. There are
many ways that a person can become infected by HSV-1, including
among them coming into close contact with a person who has a
cold sore, ingesting contaminated fluids that have been sneezed
or coughed into the air, or by coming into contact with objects
that a person with a cold sore touched or used. Although most
people are first infected with the HSV-1 virus early in life,
they do not get their first cold sore until after puberty. Once
someone is infected with HSV-1, the virus remains with them for
the rest of their lives.
HSV-2 is much less common than HSV-1. It primarily causes
genital herpes. HSV-2 usually only affect body parts that are
below a person’s waist, but in rare cases, it can cause a person
to get cold sores.
Once a person is infected with HVS-1, a number of things can
cause cold sores. A bad cold, a case of the flu, or any sort of
disease that affects the immune system can lead to the
appearance of cold sores. Extremely chapped or sunburned lips
can increase the chance of a cold sore outbreak. Women who are
pregnant or menstruating also have an increased risk of cold
sores.
But cold sores are not just caused by physical factors.
Emotional stress or prolonged upset is another factor that can
bring about a cold sore outbreak. Another factor that has been
seen to increase the risk of an outbreak is physical stress or
fatigue. All of these stress factors weaken the immune system,
making it more difficult for the body to fight the outbreak.
Many people experience cold sores only a few times in their
life, while others have them much more regularly. There is no
cure for cold sores. And with so many different causes that
people have no control over, treatment and therapy by trained
professionals are often the best ways to manage troublesome
outbreaks.
