Fever Blisters Causes and Remedies
Cause #5: Extreme Weather
Seasonal changes mean that we can experience considerable changes in the weather. These changes can play havoc with our systems and can lead to us becoming ill as we struggle to adapt. This makes seasonal illnesses quite common, and extreme weather can also cause us to develop fever blisters.
One reason why extreme weather can cause cold sores is because of a direct physical impact on the skin. The lips, in particular, can be affected by strong sunlight or by cold winds. This can cause the skin to crack, making them susceptible to cold sores. Lip balms can help prevent the skin from cracking in extreme weather conditions.
