What are cold sores, and what causes them?
Cold sores are small, fluid-filled blisters that usually appear on or around the lips. They are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) and can be triggered by stress, illness, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. These sores are contagious, especially during an active outbreak, and can cause discomfort and irritation.
