Herpes Simplex Blisters Around Mouth Region |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| One strain of the herpes simplex virus causes cold sores (also known as fever blisters) in and around the mouth, lips, pharynx, nose, face, and ears. The causative agent remains in the cell bodies of facial nerves, causing repeated attacks of the blisters. No established therapy, beyond topical lotions for pain relief, has been developed. | ||||||
