Typical signs of herpes are:
- Before the herpes breaks out, a tingling and burning sensation is noticeable on the lip, and it can also hurt slightly.
- Water-filled blisters are typical of herpes. The skin around it may be red and swollen.
Herpes usually heals on its own after about six to ten days. In the case of an initial infection, the symptoms and course are usually more pronounced. Virus-inhibiting ointments, creams, gels or plasters promise relief, which can alleviate the pain and shorten the course.
herpes? You should avoid these 3 mistakes
We tell you below which mistakes aggravate your herpes.
1. Kissing
Actually understandable, but we emphasize it at this point anyway: If you suffer acutely from herpes, kissing is forbidden. The viruses are highly contagious. Therefore, in order to protect your partner, you should refrain from tenderness until your herpes has healed.
2. Blisters open
Even if your fingers are itching, do not press the cold sore on under any circumstances. The liquid it contains is highly infectious and can cause a herpes outbreak in other places – for example in the eyes. After a few days, the blisters burst on their own and slowly heal while forming a crust.
3. Eat foods with L-arginine
The amino acid L-arginine promotes the immune system and improves fat burning. However, it also supports the proliferation of herpes viruses. Animal foods such as meat and fish are rich in arginine. Legumes, nuts and seeds also contain a lot of arginine. It is therefore better to avoid these foods if you have a herpes infection in order to curb the spread of the virus.
