Is herpes on roof of mouth common?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Common: Herpes simplex virus - 1 (oral herpes) infections are common in the United States. About 68 % of the population are carriers of the virus. This infection is less common on the palate than on the lips. Once it happens, this infection tends to reoccur in the same place. This virus remains lodged and inactive (latent) in the relay houses (ganglion) of the nerve branches acting up two- three times/yr.

Yes.: Especially when it occurs just around the time you have had another viral infection such as the cold or the flu.
