What is the difference between cold sores and herpes?

While “herpes” and “cold sores” are sometimes used interchangeably, the latter refers to a symptom of the former. Herpes is the umbrella term for infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which is classified into two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2.

  • HSV-1 is commonly responsible for oral infections leading to cold sores or fever blisters throughout the mouth [1].
  • HSV-2 primarily causes genital herpes, although in some cases, HSV-1 can also cause genital infections [2].

Cold sores typically develop when the virus, which may have been dormant in your body, becomes active due to triggers such as stress, sun exposure, or illness [1][2]. Understanding this difference helps in recognizing symptoms and discussing appropriate treatment options.
