It is estimated that almost 70% of the population has latent herpes virus. The virus is inactive in the nerve cells on a daily basis and is activated periodically during certain stressful situations, where the activated virus migrates towards the skin or oral mucosa.

Viruses can not normally penetrate directly into the cells, but herpes is one of the few types of virus that has a glycopretene receptor on the surface that can attach to the cell membrane.

The virus then multiplies in the cell nucleus and a large number of virus particles are released.

Cold sores occur on the lips and in the mouth, and are caused by viruses (Herpes Simplex Virus). The condition usually starts with a tingling and itching sensation.
