Answer 2

Well you get them from just being a dirty person and having a lot of germs on your face.

Answer 3

zovirax is good for them...You'll have the virus for the rest of your life now :-(

They are most commonly contracted through kissing someone, but you can also catch them by drinking from the same glass as someone with one or other things like that.

I get them every time I have a cold!!!

Answer 4

Herpes

Answer 5

Usually caused by stress and the cold brought it on to since you're not feeling too well. Do you have a slight fever? Sometimes that can trigger for it to come out as well.

You can use ''Abreva'' or ''Zovirax'', this will clear it up in a day or two.

Answer 6

Ok so obv those guys are full of *****. A cold sore is just a sign that your immune system is low and can't fight as well right now. But once you feel better it will be able to get rid of it. If you want to speed it up there is creams (can't think of the names) but i'm pretty sure one of them is abreeva. My bf gets them when he is stressed and uses that

Answer 7

just your immune system I get them from taking too much vitamin c the acid in the vitamin makes me break out it's your immune system if it's a little one. I used to get them as kid more often ,nothing to do with a sexual nature. Although a really bad outbreak could be something else.
