And I believe it because cold sores run in my family!

Exactly why they occur more frequently in some people was not known, but now new research suggests some of us may have a genetic predisposition to frequent, severe cold sores.

Oddly enough my Mom and ex husband got them but I never did, that is until 4 years ago. I got my first one and haven't had any since. SO weird!

I get them when I'm very stressed. They are few and far between now, maybe twice a year but when I do they are enormous. When I was young I got them more often.
