What is it?
Cold sores (herpes simplex) can flare from sun exposure, stress, or lowered immunity—common during travel. Early treatment shortens duration.

– Painful blister formation
– Crusting after 2–3 days

Antiviral creams or oral acyclovir/valacyclovir reduce severity and duration. Pain relief also available.
