Sores on the lip, in the mouth, and other parts of the human face, can be caused by the herpes virus. More precisely, even so, white sores on the lips are almost certainly caused by the herpes virus. Surprisingly, the carriers of this virus are 90% of the world's population, but white sores on the lip are not all of them. Why is this happening? Why one is lucky and the other is not?
Where did you come?!
The whole thing is in the state of immunity of a particular person. If a person regularly gets harder, leads a healthy lifestyle, then herpes, as a rule, bypasses him. But more often we carefully wrap ourselves up to God forbid not proskvozilo, with any manifestations of catarrhal diseases we kill them on the vine with all sorts of medicines, than we greatly weaken our immunity. This is also due to the fact that the child on the lips sores occur as often as the adult. So the appearance of sores on the lower or upper lip is not due to the fact that the person kissed another person who already had such a sore on the lip. This rule is valid only once - when a person first becomes infected with herpes. That is, you can get the herpes virus through a kiss only once, in all other cases you will not catch it anyway, as you already have it. And some people are infected with the herpes virus before birth, as it is able to pass through the placenta. But again we will repeat that many of us are carriers of the virus, but sores pop up not at all. Some people do this often, some rarely, some do not. And the push to the appearance of a sore on the lip is almost always a weakening of immunity. Let's say you froze at a bus stop, waiting for a bus, and you did not notice it yourself. But the immunity is all thrown at the elimination of your cooling, no one "follows" herpes, and the next morning a sore appears on the lip. Few people will connect these two facts, they will soon start to remember who and where they kissed, from whose cup they drank, whose face they wiped with a towel. But, in fact, the reason for the appearance is not so important, most people are interested not in how they got infected, but how to cure sores on the lips. Therefore, we consider this question.
Than to treat sores on the lip?
The herpes virus is quite resistant to cold. He dies only if the temperature falls below 70 degrees Celsius. But it is susceptible to high temperatures, so, when exposed to infected cells with a temperature above 50 degrees for half an hour - the virus will die. Modern pharmacology offers several types of ointments against sores: acyclovir, herpevir, zovirax, fenistil. All of them affect the ability of the virus to reproduce without affecting healthy cells. Ointments are intended for external use, and relieve the sores on the lip for 4-5 days.
If the sore has not yet appeared,
Since herpes is afraid of high temperatures, you can apply to the place where you assume there will be a sore, a hot spoon. And do it more often. You will not defeat the herpes virus, but it will not grow into an ugly white pimple.
You can still rub the sore several times a day at an early stage with garlic. And you can also prepare the ointment yourself. To do this, take in equal proportions honey and apple cider vinegar, and lubricate the sore 2-3 times a day.
There is an opinion that to get rid of a newly spilled sore on the lip will help the earwax, it must be rubbed into a sore. You can still try to overcome the sore with the help of toothpaste. Apply a small pea on the sore and leave for a while, but prevent itching or burning, otherwise you may get burned.
