If you think that you could be suffering from cold sores it is very important that you get the correct diagnosis from your doctor so that you can then begin a type of treatment to help you to start the cold sore healing process. Many people don’t realise that even though cold sores will, if left, eventually disappear of their own accord, but that doesn’t mean that you will never have cold sore fever blisters again.
Cold sores are the result of the herpes simplex type 1 virus which is a virus that once caught will never leave your body. Often cold sores can be mixed up with different types of sores such as canker sores, so if you are in doubt visit your doctor and get them confirmed as cold sores.
Canker sores are different to cold sores in that they are bigger and not contagious, they also tend to form on the genitals and the inside of the cheeks. Cold sores on the other hand reside on the lips, gums and sometimes the roof of the mouth of a sufferer. However if you are unsure as to what type of sores you have your doctor will easily be able to tell you which you have.
