Treatment and Prevention of Common Skin Conditions: Cold Sores

An outcome of a viral infection, cold sores can manifest themselves on the skin and the nervous system and they are also called fever blisters. This highly infectious skin condition is caused by herpes virus which can lie latent in the body till it is pushed by something to get active. Sometimes people confuse these with impetigo which grows between the nose and the upper lip. The color of the impetigo fluid is like honey and it looks cloudy. Non-transmittable canker sores are actually ulcers which occur in the soft tissues of the mouth where sores do not develop.
