It is advisable to start treatment as soon as the first symptoms appear, such as itching or hardening of the area.

The herpes simplex virus remains latent in our body once it is contagious, so it can reappear whenever there is a drop in the body's defences, due to excessive exposure to the sun... among other factors.

The blisters or sores will remain contagious until the scab appears, a sign that the lesion has healed.
