A member asked:

Should i be worried about kissing my girlfriend who says she has a cold sore?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: If she has an open sore it is contagious. "cold sores" are caused by a virus, herpes simplex and are contagious when the lesion is oozing. She can use a prescription medication called Acyclovir to help prevent or heal these painful lesions, which can be prescribed by a physician or dentist.
