A review of suffering from herpes simplex virus type 1 cold sores on the lips

Blisters have appeared on my lips due to Herpes Type 1.

Apply acyclovir ointment consistently.

It will get somewhat better in about a week.

 

Hello?

You have probably heard of herpes at least once.

Even if you've never heard this before, if your body is a bit tired, you've probably experienced blisters on your lips at least once.

Let's take a closer look at herpes.

 

Herpes is a disease caused by a virus and is called simple herpes.

The main symptom causes blisters around the infected area.

It is broadly divided into Type 1 and Type 2.

Type 1 causes blisters on the lips, while Type 2 causes blisters in the genital area, and they are classified as sexually transmitted infections.

Blisters can easily be contagious to others.

Once infected, you become a carrier for life.

Since it remains latent and manifests later, complete recovery is not possible.

In particular, since we eat soup together and share utensils, it can be assumed that most people are infected.

 

I don't know exactly when, but I suspect I was infected with the herpes virus while living with my family.

It's sad, but when the immune system weakens due to seasonal changes or fatigue, blisters inevitably appear on the lips.

So, when a blister appears on my lips, I think, "Oh, it happened again," and I deal with it accordingly.

If you get blisters like this on your lips, just do what I do.

 

 

A cluster of slightly white, round blisters appears in one area.

This indicates herpes simplex virus type 1.

It appears in different places for each person, but I usually get it on the left edge of my lower lip.

Strangely, it appeared again in the place where it had appeared before.

Even after all the healing, it still seems like a little bit of a mark remains.

 

 

Then, you should apply acyclovir ointment.

It looks white and is not aesthetically pleasing, but there's nothing I can do about it.

This is the fastest way to recover.

 

 

When you apply it, the white blister turns yellow.

I want to scratch and pop it, but I have to hold back.

If it bursts, it will spread more and take longer to heal.

If you continue to apply acyclovir, it will naturally burst and heal.

The healing process takes approximately about a week.

If a blister forms, you can expect to suffer for about a week.

 

Herpes type 1 is simply cold sores that can be easily treated with ointment.

You can recover.

However, for type 2, you must visit a hospital due to sexually transmitted infections.
