At very many people the herpes on labiums appearsso often that they practically cease to pay any attention to it. Annoyingly grimacing, seeing in the mirror pimples, cover with a tonal cream and wait until it disappears by itself. And forget about it until next time. But for a long time to ignore the problem, alas, you will not succeed, because herpes will give itself more and more often. Someone has this process for several months, someone has a few years. But the ending is inevitable - the herpes will "decorate" your lips more and more often. How to get rid of this misfortune? And not for a week or a month, but for ever? Let's try to understand this difficult problem together. 
Where does herpes come from?
Why do rashes occur on the lip? The answer to this question is very simple - this is the result of the action of the herpes virus. According to recent studies, this virus can be detected in more than 90% of all adults. True, most often the virus hides in the body, does not make itself felt for a very long time - sometimes even all of life. And grateful for this, we must be our immune system. It is she who restrains the virus - until it weakens. It is worth a man to get wet feet or catch the flu - the immunity decreases. Viru, not restrained, is activated and there are rashes. Incidentally, that's why bubbles on the teeth in the people are called colds - because they arise more often together with a common cold, sore throat and cough. In addition, to provoke herpes on the lips can factors such as constant nedosyp, chronic fatigue syndrome, severe stress. In addition, doctors note that in many women the virus is activated during menstruation. If you watch your body, for sure you will find the factors that provoke exacerbations in you. And knowing about this, you can act on the lead. Infection with the virus most often occurs by contact, less often - by airborne. You can get infected by direct contact with the person carrying the virus, as well as through household items - dishes, towels and so on. In addition, it is not uncommon for a newborn child to receive a virus from the mother at the time of passage of the birth canal. The virus is very tenacious. In a word, you can get infected wherever and whenever - no one is immune from this. Unfortunately, for today, there is no cure for the herpes virus. The herpes virus penetrates into the cells of the nervous system and permanently settles there. And since you "were lucky" to pick him up, the only thing you can do is to restrain his activation. If treatment is right, you can forget about relapses for a long time, sometimes for several years, or even decades. In addition, regardless of whether you have already had herpes or not, it is very important to follow a few simple rules that will greatly facilitate your life. It is very important, after all, to try to avoid infection or to prevent the infection of other people if you know about your illness:
- Dishes
As a rule, in a family all utensils of the generaland no one pays attention, whose plate he took from the shelf. However, if one of the members of the family suffers from herpes, the dishes should be separate! Moreover - during periods of herpes rashes, when symptoms are present, it is necessary to wash the dishes after each use with boiling water.
- Towels
The same applies to towels - the patienta person should have his own separate towel. And healthy people are highly advised not to use other people's towels, especially on a visit - there is no guarantee that you will not become infected with the herpes virus or anything else.
- Cosmetics
Unfortunately, take a lipstick from a girlfriend or give herits - a completely normal phenomenon for women. And it never even occurred to anyone that this was the direct way to getting herpes infection. Yes, your girlfriend may never have a rash on her lips, but where is the guarantee that she is not a carrier of the virus? Apply lipstick with your lipstick, and after a while you will have symptoms of the disease. So remember that lipstick is a thing exclusively for personal use. You do not come to mind to give someone else to use their underwear?
- Rashes
Do not touch the rash with hands -so you can increase their area. For example, you touched the pimple, and then rubbed your eyes. Done - the herpes virus got a new field of activity. A herpetic lesion of the cornea is not a comic thing at all. The disease is very hard, and getting rid of it is even harder. Therefore, after the treatment of rashes should be thoroughly washed with soap and hands. And it should be done immediately after the first symptoms of herpes appear - itching and redness of the skin.
- Intimate Relationships
If you do not want herpes to catch yourbeloved person, avoid kissing until the rashes completely disappear. And by the way, between us, girls, saying - from oral sex is also worth abstaining. Herpes from the lips easily spread to the mucous membrane of the genitals. And this is another very unpleasant story. Particular vigilance should be shown in the period of exacerbation of the disease - or rather, at the moment when the bubbles begin to burst. It is at this time that the sick person poses the greatest threat to the surrounding people. Do not be selfish and take care not to infect anyone. 
Symptoms of the disease
Herpes on the lips is very difficult with anythingTo mix up - too specific its or his signs. The first thing a person feels is a slight burning of the skin on the lip, and then there is quite a strong itch. After a couple of hours, the skin acquires a characteristic reddish hue and a slight swelling appears. As the disease progresses, the affected area swells more and more, and as a result, several bubbles form with watery contents. Itching of the skin at the same time gives way to painful sensations, and it hurts not only the vesicle, but also the skin around. After a few days, the bubbles merge into one large, and then the liquid begins to ooze. After about a week, the abscess will begin to dry and heal. On its surface a crust is formed, which itself must fall off. Rip them off in no case it is impossible, because there is a risk of infection of the wound. In this case, the situation will become more serious and you will need a completely different treatment. Yes, and there may be ugly scars, which, too, you do not need. Symptoms of herpes always proceed exactly in the described sequence. In most cases, herpes on the lips is accompanied by a deterioration in overall health - there are signs of ailment, such as weakness, headache, fever. How much these symptoms will manifest themselves depends solely on the state of your immune system. The more it is weakened, the worse you will feel. There are cases when simple herpes on the lips becomes the cause of the issuance of a sick leave sheet - so bad is the health of a person. 
Strengthening the immune system

If you do not have special health problems, then you can completely correct the work of your immune system.

And the fair sex does not have a hard time at all - the housekeeping and raising of children has not been canceled. All life resembles a sprint marathon - there's no time to rest, not to mention a full-fledged dream. And it's not surprising that the human body can not withstand such a frenzied rhythm of life.

Especially useful are those that contain a large amount of vitamin C - onions, spinach, kiwi, gooseberries, citrus fruits.
