cold sores.

what exactly is a cold sore? i know someone who seems to have something like that but he says it isn’t a cold sore.

when your lips get dry from the sun too much, and you lick them. It starts making a spot on your lips. Kinda like a hicki with the lips

i though that was chapped lips not cold sore?!?

it begins as chapped lips, but when you lick it too much it starts to form a spot.

ew so that is the humongous grown on the side of my friends lips. eww. god he has to stop getting people to lick him in the sun. or at least wash his face….

Cold sores are a form of herpes. But I think this might be in the wrong place to asking this.

Ive had cold sores, but I dont have herpes or any disease.

i didn’t think of cold sore as a disease….just like a facial condition like a rash or a pimple/boil/BIG FREAKISH ZIT!!!!!!!!!!

QFT

i really don’t want to read that but i must know the answer.

Lol, we turned an easy answer into a debate. just google it.

i hate googling and if i googled it then i would be turning a simple solution into a huge hassle. duh.

So you are trying to start a debate over cold sores?

no i think i know the answer now so i don’t need anyones help anymore but thanks for the answers. yo

No. Cold sores are a form of herpes, a group of diseases. Once you get it, it never leaves your system, but it outbreaks periodically. The three most common forms of herpes are cold sores, chicken pocks, and genital herpes. If the disease finds favorable conditions to break out it will, leaving sores.

So what do you call spots you have licked too much?

what do you mean you can’t get rid of it. ??

It means the disease is always in your system. Like I said. They stay in cells, and short of irradiating all the cells in your body so that you kill all of them, the only thing you can stop is the outbreaking virus that is causing the sores by destroying the cells they were previously in.

is it genetical disease? can you give it to your kids?

Yes.

is it genetical disease?

No, it’s caused by a virus.

Nice answer mils, I can only assume tat that is sarcasm.

I was referring to the can you give it to your kids part.

You should learn this in school.

Half an hour after asking the first question you’re still looking for answers which you could find in a few seconds on google/wikipedia.
