Hont ke kone ya upar baar baar chhote chhote water-filled chhale aate hain — thode dard wale, phir crust ban jaata hai। Yeh cold sore (herpes labialis) hai — bahut common condition। Dr. Ritu Goyal, MDS is guide mein sab samjha rahi hain।
Cold Sore Kya Hai
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) se hone wale chhale jo hont pe ya uske aas-paas hote hain। 90% adults mein yeh virus hota hai — zyada tar bachpan mein ya kissi infected person ke close contact se aaya। Virus nerve mein permanently rehta hai, kabhi kabhi "activate" hota hai aur cold sore banta hai।
Triggers — Kyun Baar Baar Aata Hai
- Stress ya anxiety
- Fever ya illness (isliye "fever blister" bhi kehte hain)
- Thak jaana, neend kam
- Dhoop mein zyada waqt
- Hormonal changes (periods)
- Immunity weak hona
Stages — Kaise Develop Hota Hai
- Tingling/burning: 1-2 din pehle itching, burning feel hoti hai
- Blisters: Chhote water-filled bubbles form hote hain
- Burst: Blisters phoot te hain — shallow sore ban ta hai
- Crust: Scab ban jaata hai
- Healing: 7-10 din mein heal hota hai
Treatment — Kya Kaam Karta Hai
- ✅ Antiviral cream (Acyclovir): Tingling stage pe lagana shuru karein — duration aur severity kam hoti hai
- ✅ Ice pack: Early stages mein swelling aur pain relief
- ✅ SPF lip balm: Dhoop trigger hai — protect karein
- ✅ Baar baar hota hai: Doctor se oral antiviral le sakte hain (Valacyclovir)
- ❌ Chhale ko chhena ya phorna nahi — healing slow, spread hota hai
Contagious Hai — Kya Dhyan Rakhein
Yeh bahut contagious hai blister stage mein:
❌ Kis na karein
❌ Kapde, towel share na karein
❌ Hont touch karke turant aankh mat chhoye — keratoconjunctivitis ho sakta hai
✅ Baar baar haath dhoye
✅ Bacha chhaale ko touch na kare
Muh Ke Ulcers Vs Cold Sore
Log dono confuse karte hain। Fark: Cold sore hont ke baahri hisse pe hota hai, HSV se। Muh ke ulcers (canker sores) muh ke andar, non-contagious। Dono alag conditions hain।
Dentist ko kab dikhayein: Agar hont ya muh pe koi lesion 2 hafte se zyada na bhare, ya bahut bada aur painful ho — turant dikhayein. Oral cancer screening important hai aise cases mein.
