A member asked:
How possible is it to get herpes/cold sore from lip gloss? i accidentally bought a tub of lip gloss that was opened and used it with out realizing.

Lip gloss: Is this your first use of Lip Gloss? If so, stop using it and see whether things improve. If you have taken it for quite some time, lip gloss is unlikely to be the cause of cold sore and you must see your doctor about this.
