Cold sores, also called as fever blisters are very comman and caused by herpes simplex virus. They are sometimes confused with impetigo, which usually develops between the nose and upper lip. They can appear one at a time or in little bunches, and they are sometimes filled with fluid. Cold sores (also called fever blisters) are quite different from canker sores, a condition people sometimes associate them with. They occur on the lip, or just above or below it, and are caught through close contact (for example, kissing) with someone who has a cold sore. Sometimes they may occur on chin, nostrils, fingers or genitals. Cold sores are small, painful, fluid-filled blisters on the mouth or nose. Some equivalent terms that are used to refer to cold sores are ” fever blisters ” and the medical term “recurrent herpes labialis.” The disorder is characterised by groups of fluid-filled blisters which appear on red swollen areas of the skin or on the mucous membranes.
