Cold Sores and Fever Blisters

Cold sores and fever blisters are painful blisters that typically form in clusters and typically erupt on and around the lips, although occasionally they can appear on other parts of the face such as the cheeks and near the nose. These blisters are caused by a viral infection, the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), which causes intermittent outbreaks that are often triggered by illnesses such as colds and fevers, giving rise to the names cold sores and fever blisters.

Before the sores appear, many people experience itching, tingling, or burning sensations around the lips. Cold sores originally appear as small, painful, fluid-filled blisters which may grow and merge. The fluid may begin to ooze as well. After a few days, the blisters begin to form scabs. Once scabbed, the cold sores will heal over the next few days to weeks.

HSV is contagious and can spread to other people as well as to other locations on the body. Avoid touching the blisters, and wash your hands frequently to decrease the risk of spreading the virus. Reach out to a doctor if your cold sore does not resolve after 2 weeks, or if you develop a sore near your eye.
