Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus which spreads easily and is easily spread from person to person.
The herpes simplex virus can cause cold sores on the lips and around the mouth. Often they’re preceded by a tingling, itching or burning sensation on the skin which is then followed by a red blister that fills with fluid, matures and ruptures to form an ulcer; this is called a cold sore or fever blister. This all takes about 2-3 days to happen.
