Here's what you need to know about herpes

Not only can cold sores appear on the lips, they can often spread to the nose or even the eyes, but some people also get cold sores on their fingers.

Not only by exchanging kisses, but it can also spread from a shared glass, cutlery or even lipstick and razor to another person.

Herpes is infected not only when it is blistered, but also when it is just there in the area. It is important to note that herpes only looks like a pimple on the outside, so it should not be squeezed. The fluid in the blisters is also infectious, and it is harder to heal if you scratch, squeeze or touch it. It’s true that herpes will go away on its own, but you can speed up healing and prevent further infection and scarring of the skin by treating it.

Herpes is not only infectious when it is in a blistered state.

It is not only infected when it is on the lip but also when it is scarred. In fact, it can even be transmitted when the herpes virus is in its latent phase. The herpes virus spreads regardless of age, even a newborn can catch it. People who have never had herpes are not fully protected against herpes.

Herpes only looks like a pimple and there is no biological connection between them.

Both cold sores and genital herpes are caused by the same virus and can easily spread from one area to another. It’s true that herpes will go away on its own, but if you treat it you will speed up the healing time a lot. Medication only prevents the virus from multiplying, it cannot eradicate the pathogens from the body. If you start treatment, the disease may flare up temporarily in the first 2 days of treatment, then there may be a sudden recovery.

Unfortunately, lemon juice and vinegar are not good for herpes at all.

There is little point in using them in your treatment. They just wash out the skin and dry it out. Peppermint oil can be great as it has excellent antiseptic properties. Calendula products are also great anti-inflammatories.
