Herpes simplex begins as a group of small red bumps that blister. Itching and burning of the affected area precede this. The blisters begin to dry up after a few days, and form a yellow crust. The crust then falls off and the redness slowly goes away. The entire process takes about 10-14 days. Please see the following phases of this virus.
Stages of a cold sore:
Phase 1 - Prodrome
Area gets warm and painful; tingling is associated with this first stage.
Phase 2 - Macule
Area becomes red (erythema): a type of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction that occurs in response to the virus.
Phase 3 - Papule
Small red bumps form, often accompanied by a throbbing pain.
Phase 4 - Vesicle
Colorless, fluid-filled blisters start to develop.
Phase 5 - Postule
At this stage a clear liquid becomes yellow and pus forms.
Phase 6 - Crust
A yellowish crust forms on the affected area.
Phase 7 - Scab
Area becomes reddish- and dry. Area itches.
Phase 8 - Healing
Pain disappears, the scab falls off.
The Herpes Infection:
Herpes infections are very common. It is estimated that nine out of ten people have been exposed to herpes. Many people are infected and are completely unaware of it, thus spreading this virus becomes an imminent problem.
How is the virus spread?
Spreading occurs by close physical contact between an infected and a previously uninfected person. Infection is most commonly acquired as a baby or infant from contact with relatives (kissing). The source does not always have typical cold sore symptoms at the time of transmission. For instance, the virus is often shed from the lips before blisters appear and it is also possible to shed infectious virus particles without noticeable symptoms.
AvaCare Helps!
"I am very happy with the results of AvaCare and ZenHance. I have felt increased energy levels, and have not suffered from an outbreak in 2 months. This is definite improvement since cold sores invaded my life at least once every month for the last 3 years"
