Herpes sore


I have just found out that I have a herpes sore on my lips. Is that dangerous?

No, herpes virus infections on the lips are not dangerous but downright annoying. Once you get herpes, it is forever. You will not be able to get rid of it. The virus tends to hide in your nerves and will keep on coming back. Hate to say, but no medication really works and all of them are darn expensive. Acyclovir will only work if you take it within 24 hours of developing symptoms. It only mildly reduces pain but does not shorten the course of the illness by any significant amount. All antiviral medications used to treat herpetic sores are a rip off and often do not work.
