Post Reply New Topic

I have 2 seemingly lifelong illnesses...

cold blisters that can pop up when I feel run down

and nail fungus on 2 toes.

Science MUST come up with a cure!! !!

Cure cold blisters NOW!

I think I'm joining Nail fungus speaks.

I also wish to join Nail fungus Speaks.

What would it say?

I'm not sure. It can't really speak so I guess the members have to speak for it.

nail fungus is easy - a little bleach on a pad.

Simple and cheap.

As for herpes, good luck with that. It resides in your BRAIN.

That's Herpes simplex virus, almost definately HSV-1. The vast majority of people have it, but how much it actually affects them varies with their immune systems and other factors. It can't be cured, because the virus lays dormant in the nervous system when it's not outbreaking. However, you know the tingling sensation you get on the skin when a cold sore is about to appear? You can get a cream that prevents that happening. The sore is caused by the virus multiplying in the skin and destroying the cells as it sheds itself out of your body. If you get the cream and put it on the tingling area, it usually prevents the sores from appearing at all.

One other thing to note is that you shouldn't kiss people or give oral sex if you have a cold sore or are feeling the tingle. That's when the virus is contagious, and although HSV-2 is the strain of herpes that is normally the STD, people without HSV-1 antibodies are able to be infected with HSV-1 in the genital area.

Never tried bleach. I think the brain herpes you think about is herpes zoster that can ive you shingles. I've had shingles once... That wasn't fun.

I've tried the cream for the cold blisters but it doesn't work. Maybe because I have a sucky immune system.
