Cold Sores Doctors in Malta
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) and appear as painful blisters on or around the lips, triggered by stress, sunlight, or illness. Dermatologists can prescribe antiviral medications such as aciclovir or valaciclovir to shorten the duration of outbreaks and, for frequent recurrences, to suppress the virus long-term. Avoiding known triggers and using lip sun protection can help reduce the frequency of cold sore outbreaks.
