What Do Oral Herpes Sores Look Like at Different Stages?
Oral herpes, also referred to as fever blisters or cold sores, go through distinct stages, just like genital herpes or herpes zoster (shingles). Herpes blisters look very similar in appearance, no matter what part of the body they affect. According to the Mayo Clinic, if you have oral herpes, you can expect your sores to heal in between seven and 10 days. But there are other symptoms aside from active sores that you may anticipate.
