Cold sores around the ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post longer question: Cold sores are usually not seen around ears, which means a doctor should look to see if they are truly cold sores or not. Cold sores on or near the lips are herpes infections, and resolve in most people in a week. Oral antiviral drugs such as Acyclovir and several others, are effective in preventing outbreaks of cold sores, decreasing the severity of sores, and shortening the healing time of sore.
