Answer #1

It’s true a cold sore is a type of herpes, but it is not bad. Everyone gets them.

Answer #2

you can get coldsores from sharing a drink with someone to using a friends chapstick or lip gloss it is a form of herpes but its really not a big deal I have been getting them since I was 6 years old there annoying and ugly I know…if you want to get rid of it use ABREVA cold sore ointment…its an over the counter ointment you can buy at Walgreens and many other places that have a pharmacey… if the problem keeps comming back whether its one after another or its once a year go see a docter to get you a perscription so you can use it and it will go away within 1 -2 days..put it on as soon as you feel it comming on and the next day it wil be gone…FYI do not pick or constantly lick the cold sore this only makes it worse and uglier..do not pop either!!!

Answer #3

lolz there are 2 types of herpes hsv1 and hsv2 hsv1 usually infects above the belt hsv2 usually infects below the belt

something like 75% of the population has hsv1 which a mother can pass on to child by kissing him goodnight

hsv2 is a little more complicated you usually have to do something sexual to get it plus they are accompanied by a bunch of other symptoms like lower back pain flu like symptoms etc so don’t worry about it

use abreva or blistex when you get 1 they usually get rid of it in 2 - 3 days

hope I helped ;)
