Herpes simplex virus: A number of factors can trigger the HSV-2 virus, including stress, fatigue, other infections, fever, menstruation and GI upset. There is no cure for cold sores. However, some medications may relieve pain and soften HSV crusts on the skin. (E.G. pencyclovir cream). The healing is within 7-10 days.

See your MD: asap. If you already have a current OB, you rather see an OB. Some insurance requires referral first from your primary provider so be aware of your ins provisions. Be healthy.
