Cold Sores: Body
built 793 days ago
Cold sores are usually due to the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV 1). When you contract this virus it remains in your body for life. Most of the time it will be inactive and not cause any problems, but sometimes it re-activates to cause cold sores.

Actually, it's a good idea to not even touch active cold sores. If you do touch an active cold sore, don't touch other parts of your body. Be especially careful about touching your eyes — if it gets into the eyes, HSV-1 can cause a lot of damage. Wash your hands as soon as possible. In fact, if you have a cold sore or you're around someone with a cold sore, try to wash your hands frequently.

Comfrey salve will help heal the cold sores as well. This is a cell proliferate which helps your body heal very quickly. Prick the cold sores and apply comfrey salve externally for best results.
