Catching Coldsores Can be Annoying
The following are some quick tips that help treat recurring cold sores, especially when others are also catching cold sores because of yours. Coldsores are caused by the Herpes Simplex virus which is extremely contagious, and there is no known cure for.
When you suffer from them chronically, you need to avoid catching coldsores as much as you can, or infecting others. The first thing you should do is get medical help. Look for help from your dermatologist to get rid of them. Make sure you practice great hygiene, so that others wont catch them.
Once you do have a coldsore, it will be active for 10 days so you need to not let anyone touch the affected area for that time period. When you use medication, you can speed up the healing process by a few days, and this will take care of the contagious problem too.
