Cold Sores & Skin Care
prevention & treatment
Preventing the spread of cold sores

Cold sore viruses spread through direct contact with the cold sore or its fluid. Once you are infected, the virus is always present; fatigue, illness, sunlight, poor diet, food allergies and hormonal changes can trigger an outbreak. To prevent spreading the virus, avoid contact with infected areas and fluids. This includes kissing, sharing glasses, utensils and razors.
