• This history is most consistent with recurrent herpes labialis (cold sores) rather than simple dryness
• Triggers like sudden temperature change, fever, cough/cold, and stress commonly reactivate the virus
• Typical course of 5–7 days with blister → crust → healing further supports this diagnosis
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution
• Avoid touching/picking lesions → can spread infection
• Avoid sharing towels, utensils, or close contact during active lesions
• Identify and minimize triggers (sudden temp changes, dehydration, illness)
• Maintain good immunity (sleep, nutrition, hydration)
