Cold sores, fever blisters, whatever you want to call them doesn't matter. What does matter is that they are annoying, embarrassing, and painful. Trust me, I know your pain. My parents and I first found out that I had contracted herpes simplex 1 as a small child. As you may know, this is a common thing, I may have shared a drink with a friend, or been kissed by an adult who had the virus. I was always very embarrassed by my cold sores, especially because I got them frequently, and with me they usually lasted 10-14 days as opposed to the usual 7-10 days. Because of this, I've tried almost every oral herpes treatment you can imagine, with varying success rates.
