There are many home remedies available to cure the cold sore and can be used at the preliminary stage of the infection which hinders the spread and growth of the infection.

Application of ice on the cold sore is by far known to be the most effective home remedy. Take one ice cube and wrap in a netted cloth and then press on the infected area. Ice, if used at the preliminary stage of the infection, hinders the further growth of the infection by decreasing the rate of metabolism of the affected cells. It also provides the soothing effect and reduces the itching and the irritation. Put ice on the sore for two minutes at the interval of five minutes.

Another very effective home remedy is to apply lemon or aloe vera balm extract or tea bags on the cold sore. It also restricts the growth of the viral infected cells and provides the soothing and cooling sensation on the infected area.  Coffee consumption should also be reduced as it is known to intensify cold sore growth.

Many Americans know that cold sores are caused by a herpes virus. But few understand the relation between oral herpes and genital herpes. Also confusing is whether herpes on the lip or mouth can be transmitted to the genital area.

There are several strains of herpes virus. Herpes simplex virus Type 2 is the strain associated with genital herpes. Many cold sores, on the other hand, are caused by herpes simplex virus Type 1. But Type 2 can also cause sores on the mouth, and Type 1 can spread to the genitals.

The types are closely related, and they usually lie dormant in nerves near an infection site until emerging on the skin during an outbreak, often preceded by tingling, itching and pain. Soap and water kills the virus fairly easily, so washing is a good way to help keep it from spreading.

Herpes is transmitted primarily by skin-to-skin contact when the infection is active, but carriers can also transmit the virus when they have no noticeable symptoms — and many do not.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Cold sores can cause a genital infection and vice versa.
