What are cold sores?
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which remains in the body once contracted. While the first outbreak may be more severe, the virus can reactivate periodically — especially when your immune system is low or you’re under stress.
Common symptoms include:
- Tingling or itching around the lips (often the first sign)
- Small blisters that burst and form a crust
- Pain or sensitivity around the affected area
- Mild fever or swollen glands (in some first-time cases)
They typically heal within 7 to 10 days, but treatment can help speed up recovery and reduce the severity of symptoms.

Who can get cold sores treatment in Huddersfield?
Our cold sore treatment service is available to adults who:
- Are aged 18 or over
- Are experiencing symptoms of a cold sore outbreak
- Are not currently taking antiviral medication
- Do not have weakened immune systems or other complicating conditions
If you have frequent outbreaks or severe symptoms, we may recommend speaking with your GP for longer-term management.
Why treat cold sores promptly?
Early treatment — especially when taken at the tingling or itching stage — can:
- Shorten the duration of the outbreak
- Lessen discomfort and appearance
- Reduce the risk of spreading the virus
- Minimise disruption to your daily routine
Whether you’ve got an event coming up or simply want to feel more comfortable, timely treatment makes a big difference.

FAQs
When should I start treatment?
Ideally, as soon as you feel the first tingle or itch. Early treatment is the most effective.
What treatments are available?
We offer antiviral tablets (such as aciclovir) and creams that help reduce the severity and duration of cold sore outbreaks.
Are cold sores contagious?
Yes — especially when blisters are present. Avoid kissing, oral contact, or sharing items during an outbreak.
Do I need a prescription?
Not for basic creams, but for stronger antivirals, our pharmacist can provide treatment if you’re clinically suitable.
Can I prevent cold sores?
While you can’t cure the virus, managing stress, avoiding triggers, and using treatment early can help prevent frequent flare-ups.
