About Cold sores
Cold sores (oral herpes) are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1, less often type 2. After primary infection — often in childhood — the virus stays latent in the trigeminal ganglion and reactivates as clusters of painful vesicles on or around the lips, frequently triggered by sun exposure, stress, illness, or hormonal change.
