Put aberva on it just incase
cold sores are commonly a sign of herpes, deffinently get it checked asap.
Cold sores are herpes but not like the std. Its a low grade type and everyone has the herpe strain or whatever its called in them. I get them when i get sick or when its dry. It could just be genitically from yr mom and ur just now getting one. Abreva i heard is rlly good but its too expensive for me so i always get campho phenique...just dont mess with it itll get worse if u do and keep it clean with medicine on it
I have gotten cold sores since i was a lil girl if u leave them alone they will go away i would get them when my lips were real chapped from the cold when i was stressed out or when i got my period before being pregnant... they are hereditary but not everyone gets them
Ive also gotten them since i was lil n get them when im stressed or when my lips are super dry. Ive always used abreva at the moment i feel them coming but i just dont mess with it n keep putting medicine on it n it goes away!! the past two times iva had them theyve gone away super quick n u couldnt even see it after 3days
First off herpes is not hereditary, it is a virus you come in contact with. Second of all I would definatly get in contact with your ob because there are "possible" complications that can occur in pregnancy if it is your first outbreak. I think its more if it is genital herpes and more if you are late in your pregnancy but I am not positive. I know this because I just recently had my first outbreak ever on my lip. I went to the doctor and she said it was a good thing that my daughter had been born before it. I'm not trying to scare you or anything but I would rather worry you a bit and have you get it checked out, than have you get bad info and think your fine and have problems in the long run.
True get it checked out but a cold sore doesnt necessarily mean u have genital/std herpes.
its a worry if u have Genital herpes n ure having an outbreak. But shes saying shes having one on her lips. Yes their a virus but theres no way to get ride of a virus. She could have complications from having a genital outbreak n is abt to give birth but theres no complications with having a lil outbreak on ure lip. Their diff types. Honey look just ask ure doc n theyll tell u cz theres nothing they can give u for ure cold sore theyll just tell u not to mess with it n buy abreva its nothing to worry abt or get stressed over. As long as u dont mess with it n put medicine on it ull be fine it will go away.
I got cold sores a lot as a little girl and I've been getting them throughout my pregnancy. My doctor prescribed me valtrex a long time ago which is safe to take while pregnant so my ob just renewed the prescription for me.
