Why Cold Sores Occur
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), which remains in the body after initial infection and can reactivate from time to time. These outbreaks typically appear as small, fluid-filled blisters around the lips or mouth.
Several factors may trigger cold sore outbreaks, including:
Stress or fatigue
Illness or weakened immune system
Sun exposure
Hormonal changes
Skin irritation or injury
A provider consultation helps determine the most effective treatment to reduce symptoms and speed up healing.
