Suggest Treatment For Cold Sores

My 12 year old son has been suffering with cold sores since the age of 5, he is now getting them almost every other week!! he is on treatment from his doctor but is really starting to get him down, its not just the odd one either he can get up to five at a time!! we have been told about the herpes virus, but could there be another problem?

Hi... I am sorry for your son's painful cold sores. I agree with you that it can be a recurrent condition but also we need to see if any other diagnosis is to be considered.

Usually skin conditions are best diagnosed after seeing them directly.

I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Please revert back to me with images so that I can guide you better.

You can approach me at the following link.
