Well, in addition to being unsightly, confidence-killers, these painful and annoying tiny blisters are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). But don’t worry, HSV-1 is different from the virus that causes genital herpes, which is herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). In fact, almost 70% of people under age 50 have HSV-1. Fortunately, most are asymptomatic and will never have an outbreak. HSV-1 is highly contagious, and in most cases latches its awful self to you during infancy or childhood via a family member or friend. Nice, right?
