Cold sores: Cold sores are usually caused by hsv (type i or ii) but cold sores are usually cause by type i. Cold sores are contagious and recurrence can be cause by uv light, stress, hormone fluctuation, to fever and sometimes, there is no apparent cause. Go to your doctor for appropriate treatment options such as anti-viral medications.
