My boyfriend and I caught a wild fire. It was our first time, will wild fires reoccur every time?

Yes, cold sores, or herpes labialis, can reappear periodically due to the herpes simplex virus type I. This virus remains in the body even after the initial outbreak, and certain factors can trigger a recurrence. On average, people may experience 2 to 3 episodes of cold sores per year. It is important to be aware of the triggers and options for treatment to manage and prevent future outbreaks.
