not all cold sores are herpes
there IS a difference between cold sores and herpes. there are sores sometimes inside, sometimes around the mouth that are NOT from the same virus that causes herpes (the type one and type two that we already agreed can be spread from one type to another). the problem is, people don't really know the main differences, and honestly, neither do i, but i've spent enough years looking up medical information (up until this year i was sure i wanted to be a dr.)
there are COLD SORES that come w/ a virus from the flu or something, and no, it's not the virus that is herpes, and lasts forever, etc. it goes away w/ the other symptoms of your illness.
the problem is that these are interchangeable nowadays, which, is in fact, wrong.
i myself am trying to figure out what i will make my av... hmmm, any suggestions?
