Question 1

i have cold sores in between of my breasts what is happening to me?

Accepted Answer

Not clear: Unless a physician looks at what you're calling cold sores you're not going to get a diagnosis.

Question 2

i had a cold sore on  my breast and i don't know why... where did i get it or is this a symptom of a serious illness?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Have somebody with professional training get a look at this.  Cold sores on the breast do not generally happen, and am afraid this may be something more severe.  Get it looked at, by a dermatologist if possible.  Hope this clears up soon.

Question 3

a cold sore in my nose made my gland under my neck swell. today i have a sore lump at the bottom of my armpit close to my breast - are they related?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Lymphatic system is anatomically not connected.  You probably suffers from hydradenitis.  Try bactroban (mupirocin).

Question 4

does hsv-1 herpes life threating or has any specific treatment ? again to ask can an oral hickey on chest/neck (without any genital contact) cause genital herpes or is just limited to cold sores - please throw some light here?

Accepted Answer

: HSV-1 or 2 can cause localized infections in the mouth/lips or on the genitals. It is more inconvenience than a threat. It is from a family of DNA viruses that can hibernate after the primary infection clears and recur at the same location on multiple occasions. An oral hickey on the chest will not cause any transfer of the germ to the recipient &amp; trigger oral or genital herpes.

Question 5

can someone with oral hsv1 infection another person by kissing on the neck and chest area? no open wounds. no cold sores?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the person being kissed has not had HSV 1, primary infection can occur at the site of kiss. Visit these sites for more information:

Herpes can be transmitted without any sores.

Question 6

sick cold symptoms spitting out green mucus chest pains body aches waking in night sweats every night fever and cold sores  wats going on?

Accepted Answer

Cold symptoms: the answer depends many things such as how long you have been ill I would recommend a visit with a doctor if you have been sick longer than two weeks or your getting worse

Question 7

i have what looks like a cold sore feels like a pimple if i touch it like sore. and i am not breastfeeding and have never breasted. just wondering if ?

Accepted Answer

Where is your lesion: Sounds like a skin infection which can be due to bacteria or viruses.  Like you say, it could be a pimple, abscess, cold sore, etc.  I would try hot compresses to see if this helps and if no resolution have someone look at it so they can start you on the right medicine.  Depending on the location, this can provide some clues as to what it may be.

Question 8

i have herpes lesions on right side chest, arm pit, and back. never a cold sore. what type of herpes is this?

Accepted Answer

Blister like rash: Well this could be shingles if it 'wraps' around a certain area of the body - only on one side. If you upload a pic or show this to a doctor, they should be able to confirm it. Shingles is in the 'herpes' family of viruses, so it can come up as painful red blisters (like genital herpes). There is anti-viral treatment, so best to show a doc ASAP so you can get the best treatment.

Question 9

nausea, cold sore, headache, stomach and chest pain. what's wrong with me? i've lost my appetite and just don't feel well at all.

Accepted Answer

Cold sore: It sounds like you have something viral.  You need to keep fluids going, alternate tylenol (acetaminophen) and motrin. And treat the cold sore.

Question 10

red, sore, bumps that keep recurring.first occured on collar bones, now lower on chest.antibiotics, bactroban, (mupirocin) anti-histamines&cold sore patches don't help?

Accepted Answer

Skin lesions: Without being able to examine you and see these lesions there is no way in which to diagnose them and to project some form of therapy.  See a dermatologist and have them assess these.  Sounds like you may be having MRSA boils which might require a different antibiotic than what you were receiving, and the recurrences suggest a need for decolonization. Good luck.
