Lip herpes is called herpes simplex type 2. Herpes is a virus that can be treated with antiviral medication if needed. It is a common form of herpes, passed on from generation to generation. It is aggravated by hot drinks and cold weather, which is probably why it got the nickname "cold sores" Herpes simplex type 1 is the genital form. As always, consult your nearest doctor or emergency room for any changes in your condition.
