Herpes, also known as "lip fever" is a very common condition. Always considered annoying and decidedly anti-aesthetic, Herpes is a disorder that can also have psychological causes and that needs care and attention to be eliminated properly. Here then is all there is to know about it, from the causes to the most effective remedies.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF HERPES
In Italy at least one in three people suffers and at least 15% of the adult population complain of annoying relapses during the last year. L ' Herpes is a very annoying disease and to treat it better and fight it you need to know it thoroughly and know what are the environmental and psychological factors that cause it and what are the correct procedures to be to stay away from the dreaded "fever on the lip ".
The virus that causes this disease is called Herpes Simplex type 1 . 90% of people are healthy carriers of this type of virus, but this is not the only one. There is also another variant , type 2 , which is the main cause of only 2% of Herpes cases among the population.
When it comes into contact with this virus for the first time, what is known as "primary infection" takes place. This means that the virus is able to survive within the organism and to remain latent even for a short time, to then activate itself and manifest itself during certain circumstances that may also depend on a weak state of health.
The incubation , in general, has a duration of ten days and is the period that precedes the actual infection. The virus manifests itself very simply through fever and some vesicular eruptions on the surface of the lips or inside the oral cavity. Sometimes the vesicles can ulcerate and cause pain, in an intensity so strong as to prevent normal swallowing during meals. It usually heals from Herpes in two weeks, although infection, especially in the case of children, can also occur in other parts of the body.
THE VARIANT OF HERPES HSV-2
We initially said that this virus manifests itself in two variants. Of the two, variant 2 is the rarest and is known as an infection affecting the genitals . The sexually active population is affected, and any person can be affected by this virus and infected through unprotected sex.
In this case, the incubation lasts about 5 days and after this period there are some vesicles visible to the naked eye and localized. The vesicles are destined to break and this situation can be accompanied, in case both women have been infected, by vaginitis and fever. In about 20 days and with the right therapy , healing takes place quickly.
THE CAUSES OF HERPES
Science explains how the first contact with the HSV-1 virus occurs in the first years of life of any individual, through a pathology known as gingiva-herpetic stomatitis . This term that seems a bit 'abstruse, other does not indicate that some small lesions of the mucosa that occur at the level of the oral cavity.
When the primary infection has occurred, then the direct contact with the virus, it enters the nerve endings at the level of the epidermis and remains, even for a long time, in a latent state , ready to awaken as soon as the favourable conditions.
In many cases Herpes infection occurs without symptoms, to the point that many people develop the necessary antibodies without even knowing they have been exposed to this type of disease. On the other hand, if the infection manifests itself from the clinical point of view , with the classic vesicles that we all know as "lip fever".
We could divide the Herpes phases into four steps:
The phase of the symptoms : in this moment are manifested those that are the specific symptoms of this pathology as the burning, the pain and the itch . This phase can be very short, and last only a few hours, or it can continue for a few days. In this period, moreover, it is contagious, even if the vesicles have not yet manifested themselves.
The phase of the vesicles : on the lips appear the vesicles, similar to the pustules, with a variable size between 2 and 5 mm and recognizable by the yellow liquid that they contain inside them.
The ulcer phase : in this phase the pustules explode, the liquid that comes out is very contagious and in place of the pustules there is a sort of pustule.
The phase of crust formation : it is the moment when Herpes creates itching, pain, and discomfort. A sort of crust is formed and at this moment it is no longer able to infect others.
HOW HERPES IS TRANSMITTED
The Herpes virus is very contagious and is transmitted via saliva or through injuries. Exchange of effusions, liquids, but also exchange of towels, clothes and crockery therefore favors the contagion between people. It is also possible to be infected by yourself: this happens when a person transmits the virus to other parts of his body, such as the eye or the nose.
The vesicles that are formed as a result of the infection should not be touched. Moreover, during all stages of the virus it is important to follow your personal hygiene practices more carefully than usual ; then wash your hands more often and try to touch as little as possible objects that you share with other family members. Herpes is a virus that may affect, as mentioned above, even the genital areas and Herpes labialis can also be transmitted to the genital tract and vice versa.
Certainly it is a nuisance that can cause pain and itching, but to allow the area affected by Herpes to heal properly it is necessary to have patience and, above all, not scratch or try to remove the crust . This not only increases healing times but exposes the skin to other infectious agents.
THE DURATION OF THE INFECTION
The infection usually lasts about ten days , although sometimes, depending on the case, it may remain around the lip a sort of red spot that tends to become lighter until it disappears in the following days. Genital herpes , on the other hand, takes longer and requires, especially for women, periodic check-ups to monitor the regression of the lesion.
The infection is treated with anti-viral drugs that prevent the virus from multiplying and allowing proper healing. To try to soothe the burning and itching due to the presence of pustules and the formation of the crust then, it is possible to buy in pharmacies some patches that serve to protect the clinical manifestation of the virus and to prevent scratching the affected part.
HOW TO PREVENT THE HERPES VIRUS
Anyone who has already been infected by the Herpes virus is more prone to recurrence, but in general we are all exposed to this infection. And our immune system plays a very important role in all of this. For this reason it is necessary to strengthen it as much as possible in order for the body to act as a screen to attack viruses and external agents.
The factors that are considered responsible for the onset of Herpes are:
Stress : it is known to everyone that during periods of high stress our immune defenses are weaker and it is necessary to stimulate them to do their job well.
Hormonal changes : those suffering from hormonal changes are more prone to being infected by the Herpes virus
Epidermal traumas : cosmetic surgery, shaving and other interventions affecting the face can pave the way for the Herpes virus
NATURAL REMEDIES FOR THE HERPES VIRUS
Herpes is a very old problem that, in the absence of medicines, in the past has always been treated with natural remedies and household products. The grandmother's classic remedies , in short, that even in this case could prove to be very useful in case of annoyance and pain.
The first is lemon juice . The lemon is an acidic food and this property helps the blisters to burst, thus favoring the formation of the crust. Simply squeeze the lemon and make compresses soaked every day using a clean cotton cloth.
Even vinegar can help you a lot in case of Herpes and also in this case the best solution is the compresses . The sore vinegar note, however, is that it could cause you burning, but if you are old enough you can fix it by applying an ice pack immediately after that of vinegar.
The oil 31 , however, is a tincture prepared from herbs that has excellent anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties very useful against the Herpes virus. Just put a few drops on a cotton cloth and practice a simple compress once a day.
In addition to this, remember that Herpes, like all other viruses, is an external agent that attempts to attack the human body when it finds fertile ground for it, which is a weak immune system . Strengthening it, therefore, is the best way to fight infection and prevention must start above all at the table; fruits, vegetables, but also potassium, vitamins and magnesium are the foods and components that must never be lacking in our diet.
