I have a cold sore, do i have to throw away all my lip sticks and lip glosses that i have been using ?

Cold sores are viruses and that means that they have a life span, but I don't know how long. So if you got the virus on your lipstick, you could spread the virus to perhaps the other side of your mouth. But the virus would die too after a certain amount of time. I would perhaps wipe the end of the lipstick onto tissue to remove any surface viruses.

That would be pointless, because once you have a cold sore, the virus that causes it is in your body forever, and the cold sore will come up whenever your immune system is weakened for some reason. Just don't let anyone else use your lip stuff and don't kiss anyone while you have the sore because it's very contagious.

Cold sores are caused by a virus. If you have the virus, you dont get rid of it. You can keep using your own lip products, but NEVER share them with others, or you have a GREAT chance of giving your cold sores to others.

Yes
