Original caption

Cold sores are common — and this is never about shame or stigma. But herpes simplex virus can spread from person to person and to other areas of your own body, especially if you touch active blisters and then touch your eyes, fingers, or broken skin. So please: don’t pick, pop, or touch the blisters. Wash your hands, avoid sharing lip products or utensils during an outbreak, and talk to your doctor about treatment options if you get recurrent flares. #herpes #herpessimplexvirus #coldsores #drsugaiskincare #mysteryrash
