With the onset of cold weather, people with characteristic rashes on the lips appear more and more.
It would seem that this is common and not at all mysterious disease, but the average patient does not really know anything about herpes - except that "this is fever on the lips." More educated (as well as affected) people will remember that there is still some “genital” herpes, but what does it have to do with a “cold” and whether it has it at all - not everyone will answer.
But over the many centuries of "communication" with herpes, this disease has acquired many speculations and misconceptions. Let's try to deal with the most common of them.

Misconception 1. Herpes is not contagious
Quite the opposite. Herpes is transmitted by airborne droplets (when coughing, sneezing, talking), contact (when kissing, using common dishes, lipstick, mouthpiece) and sexually. It is also possible infection of the child from the mother when passing through the birth canal. As a rule, this happens if the mother contracted genital herpes in the third trimester of pregnancy. At the same time, the antibodies that she passes to the child do not have time to develop in her body. And if there is damage to the placenta, the child can become infected in any period of intrauterine development - such herpes is called congenital.
Misconception 2. Herpes - a manifestation of the “cold”
In fact, herpes is an independent disease caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Usually it is activated by hypothermia, but it can also occur with stress, overwork, exacerbation of chronic diseases or any decrease in general immunity.
Misconception 3. If rashes appeared on the lips, the cold subsided
A common point of view, however, has nothing to do with reality. In fact, rashes mean that a respiratory infection weakened the immune system, and this gave the herpes virus the opportunity to act actively.
Misconception 4. If the rashes have passed - herpes is cured
It would be very cool, but, unfortunately, it is impossible to remove the virus from the body. It stays with a person for life, and you can only make it stay in a "sleeping" state, without manifesting itself. Therefore, 95% of people have the herpes virus, with the majority acquiring it at the age of 3-4 years, but only about 20% of people feel its “work”.
Misconception 5. You can get herpes only with rashes.
Indeed, in the active phase of the disease, a greater number of viral particles are released and the likelihood of infection is higher. But the transmission of infection can occur at any time through invisible microtrauma of the skin and mucous membranes.
Misconception 6. Herpes on the lips (labial) and on the genitals (genital) are two completely different diseases, infection does not occur with oral sex
This statement is only partially true. Indeed, labial herpes is more often caused by the first type of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), and genital herpes by the second (HSV-2). However, both types of virus can lead to rashes on both the lips and genitals. Especially often, such a change of "place of residence" occurs just during oral sex.
Misconception 7. Condom fully protects against infection with genital herpes.
A condom really reduces the risk of infection, but, unfortunately, does not give a one hundred percent guarantee. Virus transmission can occur through areas of the body that are not covered by a condom, or through certain defects of a “rubber friend” (for example, poor-quality or overly porous).
Misconception 8. The best treatment is cauterization of sores with alcohol, iodine or brilliant green.
Cauterization does not affect the herpes virus and its activity, but it is very easy to burn damaged skin and mucous membrane in this way. It is better to carefully lubricate the rashes with an antiseptic that does not contain alcohol, so that a purulent infection does not join. And the exacerbation of herpes is treated with special antiviral drugs, for example, acyclovir, which prevents the virus from multiplying. With frequent exacerbations, medications that stimulate the immune system and general strengthening agents are used.
Misconception 9. Herpes is a non-dangerous disease and only affects the skin.
In fact, herpes takes the second place in mortality from viral infections. The herpes simplex virus is embedded in the genome of nerve cells, therefore, rashes occur in places of nerve endings and are accompanied by severe pain. Theoretically, herpes can occur everywhere where there is nervous tissue, which means - in almost any organ. With a decrease in general and local immunity, herpetic inflammation can develop in the mucous membrane of the mouth and larynx, cornea and conjunctiva of the eye, lymph nodes, internal genital organs, intestines, liver, kidneys, lungs and central nervous system. With brain damage, the vast majority of patients die or remain disabled.
Treatment of herpes on the lips with folk remedies: TOP 10 best
Along with well-known medications, alternative methods of treating herpes are no less successful, since they are tested not only by time, but also have practical effectiveness:
Rules for the use of folk recipes for the treatment of herpes on the lips at home:
- Garlic and onion. Cut onion or garlic in half, and the sap on the lips themselves is rubbed with the juice of the plant. Due to the unpleasant odor, it is better to do this at night, and then cover your lips with a thin layer of honey.
- Earwax. If twice a day with your own earwax lubricate the foci of herpes, for 2-3 days treatment will begin to give a serious result.
- Ice cubes. Every day, it is necessary to apply ice to the foci of the disease for 15-20 seconds for 2-3 times. This will begin to kill the virus, which does not tolerate the cold. In addition, exposure to ice will dry the wounds and speed recovery.
- Aloe juice. To cure rashes on the lips, you need to get a teaspoon of the juice of this plant and mix it with half the amount of honey. This medicine is taken once a day immediately before meals. But it is not necessary to prepare this mixture, since it is enough to cut a slice of aloe and treat the wound with an oozing plant. To do this, it can be attached to it for half an hour. A few days of such actions, and herpes will be defeated.
- Toothpaste. A rather unusual method is that the damaged part of the lip is treated with a small amount of paste and waiting for it to dry. This usually speeds up the healing and drying of the sores. Moreover, the use of the drug before the appearance of bubbles eliminates their occurrence.
- Plain salt. Small crystals of salt can cure herpes if applied to the wound several times a day. It is also recommended to leave a salt compress at night. To do this, a teaspoon of the substance is diluted in a third of a glass of water, then gauze is impregnated with this solution and fixed on a wound surface.
- Freshly made tea. A strong tea drink is prepared and soaked in a cotton swab. Then apply it to the lip. The procedure is done three times a day until the skin heals.
- Paper ash. Do not use the powder itself, but an ointment based on it. To do this, take half a spoonful of honey, a teaspoon of ash and 3 minced cloves of garlic. All mixed and applied to the lips three times a day.
- Chamomile broth. The traditional herbal preparation is not only drunk, but also used as a local remedy. To do this, take a tablespoon of raw materials and insist half an hour in a glass of boiling water. Then the broth is filtered, mixed with a tablespoon of propolis tincture for alcohol. The resulting preparation is excellent for treating lip ulcers and for internal use in a tablespoon 2 times a day.
- Honey, coffee and flour. The effectiveness of the following recipe is known: 10 g of honey and flour are mixed with 5 g of coffee and 50 g of kefir, 2 cloves of chopped garlic are added. All this is mixed and applied to the wound surface until the resulting ointment dries. After this, the substance is again smeared on the wound, leaving it for half an hour, after which it is washed off. After a few sessions, the herpes virus will be defeated.
Before using folk recipes, it is also necessary to consult a doctor, since even allergic reactions are possible on plant components.
Which doctor treats a cold on the lips
Herpes on the lips belongs to the category of labile herpes, which passes without any special consequences. The main problem is a cosmetic defect and prolonged healing of wounds.
If the disease proceeds for a long time or new foci of inflammation occur, as well as in relapses, you need to consult a therapist. He will decide on treatment or refer to narrower specialists: immunologist, dermatologist, infectious disease specialist.
Against cold sores on the lips a lot of products of both natural and synthetic origin help to quickly cope with an ugly and painful defect. The main thing is to notice the first manifestations of the disease in time and keep the ointment “in reserve” in the medicine cabinet so that the virus does not catch by surprise.
In addition, with congenital herpes, multiple malformations, and the death of a newborn are possible, and long-existing genital herpes significantly increases the risk of developing cervical cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
“But there is a nuance ...”
It is interesting that such harmful properties of herpes viruses as easy penetration into the body, constant stay in it and the large size of viral DNA give hope to use them "for peaceful purposes." It is this family of microbes that is considered promising for gene therapy. To carry out which they are deprived of their pathological abilities and useful genes are inserted into the viral genome. And the virus perfectly delivers these genes to the patient’s DNA, where they help to synthesize substances that the body lacks and even fight other viruses. Who knows, maybe the time is coming soon when herpes will be treated ... with the herpes virus.
