Can dehydration cause cold sores?

Dehydration was caused by exscessive alcohol consumption.

You have cold sores on your mouth? It isn't really caused by climate as much as your own body as you have the herpes virus. Yes the same virus that some people have on their genital area. You need to not kiss anyone while you have an out break!! Remember that if you have one on your lips you could very well have one inside your mouth down further in your throat area and not know it. You are contagious!! You need to go to the doctor and get medication. Valtrex 500mg tabs. Take them until the out break has completely cleared up. This is something you are going to have to be careful about and not spread to anyone else.

Do be concerned! Chicken pox herpes or hepes you caught from someone who caught it from someone else who caught it from someone else who caught it from someone else who had chicken pox herpes MEANS YOU CAN TRANMIT IT ANYWAY! So DO get excited, please because you are contageous. You kiss someone while you have the out break on your lip or in your mouth and you can infect someone else or if you have oral sex with some one, guess what?

Go to the doctor and get the medication.

Yes.

Not exactly. Actually a cold sore is simply a herpes virus in the mouth. Herpes never goes away but it can become active due to dehydration. I personally noticed meth and pseudo-ephedrine were the ones that kicked my cold sores into active stage. I have not used either for a few months and haven't had cold sores as a result. I do however drink over a fifth of vodka(or similar strength booze) daily. I have not noticed any increase in cold sore activity as a result of the dehydration I have suffered from my alcoholism specifically.

Indirectly, in that it can weaken you in general, making you more susceptible to all kinds of viral and other infections

No, dehydration does not cause cold sores. Cold sores are caused by a virus called herpes simplex.

Don't be freaked out by the word herpes. Herpes is very common. Chicken pox is also herpes - if that makes you feel any better. :-)

Dehydration can cause many probelms in the body. Our bodies are (oh what did my Chemisrty professor say?) 70% water.
Water is essential, drink lots of it. Yes I believe cold sores can be caused by dehydration.

Cold sores are caused by HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1).
