Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

HSV-1: The herpes simplex virus 1 (hsv-1) is not sexually transmitted and is very common, detectable in most individuals. This virus is the cause for the common "cold sore" or lip blisters. Topical creams and even anti-viral medications can help shorten the duration of the illness. Best wishes.
