Unsuspected triggers
Your daily life could be in question. The most common factors are as follows:
Stress: Mental or physical overload can weaken your defenses.
Infections: A simple cold may be enough to wake up the virus.
The sun: Prolonged exposure can irritate the lips and trigger a flare-up.
Hormones: During menstruation or pregnancy, these fluctuations may promote a rash.
A weakened immune system: Diseases, medical treatments or prolonged fatigue create a favourable ground.
How do you recognize a push?
Labial herpes is generally manifested by:
Stinging or itching before the lesions appear.
Small blisters filled with fluid around the lips, sometimes inside the mouth.
Pain or discomfort, sometimes accompanied by general symptoms such as fever.
These blisters eventually burst, forming crusts that disappear within a few days.
Treat and relieve labial herpes
Although there is no definitive remedy, there are solutions that limit discomfort and speed up healing:
Antivirals: Medicines such as acyclovir or valaciclovir may reduce the duration of rashes.
Local creams: Applied quickly, they relieve itching and promote healing.
Strict hygiene: Avoid touching blisters so as not to make the situation worse or to infect other parts of the body.
