cold sores more frequent
Posted: 06-30-08 17:26pm

I've been getting cold sores since I was a kid. Usually they occur once or twice a year in the winter time. But I just started getting one today and this is the second one in a month. Is that unusual? I'm not sure why I've gotten them this time of year.
thanks!

Herpes varies in each person... Some women get one every single month, and it is normal!

IF you start getting cold sores more often, you could take daily suppressive therapy to prevent them.
