Cold Sore From HSV-1: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the cause of cold sores. HSV sets up shop in your ganglion neurons and reactivates during times of stress or when your immune system takes a hit. Pain, burning, tingling, and itching often proceed outbreaks which last around 5 days. Herpes is one of the most common infections with around 90% of people worldwide effected. This is not an allergy reaction.
