They seem to get called different names but coldsores, fever blisters and oral herpes all seem to be pretty much the same sort of thing. They start out itchy but there is almost nothing to see but then they gradually turn into an itchy pimply thing which spreads into blisters which are the coldsores. I’m not sure about effective home remedies for coldsores but I can tell you about my own problems with coldsores.

These coldsore blisters may spread or they may not. You might have just one single example or you could have them spread all around the mouth and even around your nose. Apparently they are a development of a bug that is either in you or it is not. If it is in you then you will probably have occasional outbreaks throughout your life.

In my own experience they seem to be brought on by stress of different sorts. If I am extremely tired and have suffered several nights of bad sleep patterns I am likely to get cold sores appearing and they also develop when I have suffered with a cold or some other illness that has weakened me enough to allow them to develop.

They are said to be extremely infectious and you are advised to avoid kissing anyone when you have a coldsore infection on your mouth but long before we started hearing about coldsores being a varient of herpes and being told how infectious they were I had been married a long time to my spouse and we never did anything different when I was suffering a coldsore outbreak. We were always affectionate and extremely intimate yet my partner never ever exerienced and outbreak of coldsores.

My mother and my brother have always suffered with coldsore blisters as well so I wonder if there is some sort of genetic weakness that allows them to take hold and become a permenent fixture within your body that develops when you are stressed in some way. This is just my personal opinion and I expect medical people would disagree with my thoughts.

I don’t know if there is a home remedy for coldsores or even a medical preparation that will remove them for good. I try to avoid getting stressed and that seems to keep them away but when I do get them I just try to avoid stress and just use an antiseptic cream on them. They seem to clear up eventually. You can purchase over the counter coldsore treatments and these may be effective but I have little experience with using them myself. If you have any coldsore remedies of your own please leave a comment and share it with us all.
