A cold sore is an infection which is caused by an organism called the herpes simplex virus.

 

This virus is different from the virus that causes colds.

 

Although most of the population carries the virus, not everyone gets attacks of cold sores.

 

The first infection usually occurs in early childhood, for instance after being kissed by a person with the infection.

 

The virus passes through the skin, travels up a nerve and hides in a nerve junction until reactivated.

 

Colds and flu
Emotional upset and distress
Fatigue
Feeling run down
Physical injury
Menstruation
Bright sunlight

Once reactivated the virus travels back down the nerve to the skin causing a tingling sensation, the virus then multiplies causing the cold sore.
