How Can I Avoid Getting Cold Sores

Question:For years I've had an  Organixx Collagen Review  occasional cold sore on my lip - the last two left dreadful scars. Recently I have also been getting them on the entrance to the rectum, which causes extreme itchiness and soreness. They take ages to clear and often reappear after a week or two. I boil underwear and towels and disinfect the toilet seat, but to no avail. Can you suggest anything, please?

Answer:
Cold sores- water blisters on the lips- are caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). The virus enters the thin, delicate skin on the lips and begins to multiply rapidly, causing the blister to appear. The lips are sensitive and have numerous nerve ending, which are irritated by the viral activity. People generally have the notion that cold sores are spread solely by kissing, and men and women alike get very self-conscious about these eruptions. It can, however, spread through any form of contact, especially if the blister has burst or is at the sage where the skin is shedding, as the virus will be more exposed.

The virus can lie dormant in the body: it is activated and causes problems when you are tired and stressed, and the immune system is weak. Then the virus sees its opportunity and begins to multiply. Viruses that cause colds and flu behave similarly. In fact, cold sores and the common cold have much in common (that's why the blisters are called 'cold sores'). In chilly conditions, the body works extra hard to generate more heat and keep its temperature constant at 36oC. This puts a lot of strain on the body and, unless precautions are taken, you get run down and become more susceptible to cold and cold sore viruses.

Genital herpes is caused by a similar virus: the only difference is that the blisters appear on the genitalia. It is rare, however, to have the eruptions in the anal region or entrance to the rectum as you describe. I wonder if your partner has the condition too and it is being spread by sexual contact. If so, he too, needs treatment. He should also consider using a condom.
