Do you get cold sores?
 

I do and they're the worst thing ever! Damn my ex boyfriend for kissing me with an active cold sore. "It's just a cut, not a cold sore" - suuuuure. :rolleyes:

LMFAO! Love You Already!!!

I get them and i say there cuts, but sometimes they are cuts but they look cold sores!!

Haha cheers. :)

I'd never get away with passing mine off as cuts. I'm just lucky I'm off work this week and don't have to serve anybody haha. Might get complaints about the huge scabby demon on my bottom lip.

lol.

My friends hate cold sores, when they see someone with one they think they have the plague or something!! :laugh2:

I always get them, I don't know how or where from.

A friend of mine thought they had something to do with sexually transmitted diseases. :laugh: They don't, do they?

I read on the internet that a lot of folk contract the virus from kissing older relatives in childhood.

No, they don't. It's not an STD.

It is spread by the HSV-1 virus which can be transferred through oral sex to genitals, where the HSV-2 virus can cause genital herpes.

What people don't understand is that genital herpes and genital warts are different - it's genital warts that is the STD, caused by HPV virus.

Nope

Never ever had one,and don't want one either.

Nope. Which is great.

Yes, I get like one every 2 months and they stay for ages, damn those buggers!

Yeah I get them. Got them when I was like 5 year old, then didn't up until I was about 13, then got them again.

never had one ! guess im lucky!

yes get them really bad tried that new thing compeed or something them clear plasters dont try them they dont dry them up and they left me with a nice scar

I was left with a scar too.

Don't curse it! Around 80% of people have the virus, many of those having never even had a cold sore, the virus remaining in it's 'sleeping' state.

However, it can strike at any time! As I too well know. :mad:

Nope. Thank goodness

much better with cream that drys it i sent them an email and they said sorry they might now work for everyone lol

I've never had a coldsore but I get mouth ulcers ...

nope i dont get them!

Which cream do you use? I never ever ever know what to use.

I heard putting mouthwash and then toothpaste on it overnight helps, but there's something not right about rubbing aquafresh on my lips LOL.

Zovirax or the pharmacy's own branded equivalent - as long as it has the active ingredient Aciclovir (I used to work in a chemist).
